Four days of a thirty day project
There is a great deal of interest in the past few weeks about the one hundred day project.
It sounds daunting—but it does tend to develop a habit–a habit of working consistently on something and developing skill.
I wanted to improve–learn–water color painting and so I embarked on a thirty day project.
Here is my setup.
The flower is a zinnia from one of my front flower beds.
I lasted exactly four days..
I painted that zinnia from the side. I painted lying on the table. I painted it from the top.
I made it a different color..
And then we took a trip to Door County. I took my paints and supplies with me—but there never seemed to be time to sit for a few minutes and paint. Painting while riding in a car with watercolor requires more dexterity than I have—even drawing with a pen–is challenging,
When we returned home, I did not know where I had put all the pages I had prepped for this project.
I’m sure I will find them—maybe when I do a bit of cleaning and re-organizing.
I have discovered it is far easier for me to bind pages together after finished than to work in a completed book…except for those commercially made sketchbooks.
People are ramping up for the One Hundred Day Project…I mght try again.
