Your Mission
Capture one ordinary early-winter moment through simple shapes, three colors, and a calm observation from a safe indoor seat.
What You'll Need
- Paper or sketchbook
- Pencil or pen
- Three colored pencils or markers
- A comfortable seat
How to Do the Quest
- 1
Choose a window with a safe, comfortable seat nearby and keep cords, heaters, and walkways clear.
- 2
Spend two quiet minutes noticing the largest light shape, the darkest shape, and one small detail outside or on the glass.
- 3
Draw only the biggest shapes first, using simple lines or blocks rather than trying to make a perfect scene.
- 4
Pick three colors that match the feeling of the light and add small areas of color where they matter most.
- 5
Write one sentence beneath the sketch about the temperature, sound, or mood you noticed from indoors.
- 6
Set the page aside for five minutes, then return to add one detail that makes the sketch feel distinctly like today.
Quest Challenge
Can you show the mood of the light with only three colors and five lines?
Pro Tip
A seasonal sketch is a record, not a test; the small date and observation sentence make it more meaningful than technical detail.
