Instant Clipboard

Rubber bands are such a great thing. Put one around a piece of cardboard and you've got an instant clip board. Holds the paper down, even holds your pen if you want. Put a rubber band at either end if you want to protect the paper from flipping around or getting blown in the breeze if you go outside.






For cardboard, we generally use the piece that's left over after you use up a pad of paper.

I love making art portable because I don't have any one place that I draw, and I notice my students don't either. Sometimes they draw standing up or lying down. So much of drawing is getting involved in what you see, so it's good to be able to go see things. I'm putting together a mobile studio for myself, I'll post that once it's presentable.
