List of projects to try just seems to grow...
watercolour & gouache
encaustic anyone?
oils or acrylic?
cards
printing
designing
sketching
painting.... help!!
so... how do I limit myself to just one?
And should I?
Experimentation is fun, and creative, etc... but to develop skill in one area, before moving on,
makes more sense, in a developmental and skills building way.
My challenge to myself (and anyone else who needs Art Intervention): Watercolour Splash!
I will try (see, I already have committment issues!)
between now and Christmas, to ONLY use watercolour and sketching
(the two naturally go together anyway)
In watercolour I am going to include: gouache, and acryllic ink, and watercolour pencils - is that cheating? (My rules so I can do as I want!)
BUT Only 1 new watercolour tool/supply/ added each week.
(man that's going to be HARD!)
hmmm - wish me luck!
Along the way I hope to share what worked, what didn't, tools, tricks, and things I discover :-)
To make sure you don't miss out - remember to join the blog here, or like me on FB!
Since I don't draw, sketch, or paint anything except mixed media backgrounds, I look forward to this challenge. Sounds like you are on a mission, too.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I don't do facebook. It's just too much to try to keep up with all that other social media.
I'm curious to see where this challenge is going to take you. Maybe I will try something similar one day...
ReplyDeleteWater color painting is always very tricky. It is not something you can paint over and start again. But it is a lot of fun experimenting with. I am following you now and look is interested to see what you come up with.

I will enjoy following you in this challenge your work is beautiful, I have enough challenges at the moment, I have been injured and am painting with my non dominate hand,
ReplyDeleteThis will be a great series. I love that you are already bending the rules - but that's what they are for right! Can't wait to see what you create. x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work! And yes, too many things to try...too little time! Good luck in your challenge and I'll follow what you're doing! Thanks, Lori from 'waldorfmoms.com'.
