For comments and impressions, we asked the artist-designer Anna Ozyakovoy. Although she is not a life without paper and ink, but far from fashion-illustrations and works in a completely different manner.

Such paintings, in which the result is written multiple strokes, akin calligraphy. It takes a lot to learn to put a smear where it should be. Visible shades shadows at a glance. I sometimes work in the technique of One Stroke, in some ways it is similar to what is required in the job. But I have a very different materials and a completely different result. New paint, new appliances. Usually, artists are looking at those with whom you are working in a similar Mehner, and by means of such parcels can turn 180 degrees and dive into a new world.

So, in one box we got an unusual assignment, and all that is required for its implementation: a set of new materials, visual aids for their use and a pack of inspiration. And yet - the motivation and excitement of the competition. However, even if you can not win, you still have paint brush, a box with ideas and a sticker with the magnet as a souvenir from the Doodle & Sketch.
