30 Day Challenge
So I set myself a goal last week to paint on the same canvas every day for a month. I’m trying to push myself out of my comfort zone in the following ways:
1) Get in to the habit of painting every day, even if it’s just for 15 minutes.
2) Work larger. The canvas I’m working on is 30x40”
3) Not give up on a painting when I think it looks like crap.
I’m well on my way to number 3. The first day, I spent painting the canvas different greens. I kind of liked it. Then I decided to try out a new technique pouring transparent glazes down the canvas. I mixed small amounts of paint and water with glazing liquid and it takes FOREVER to dry. So here’s my progress so far. Stupid me forgot to take a picture of the canvas before I started pouring on Day 2.
