Still playing with dolls! :) I was hoping that backing up from the subject would give me more of the effect I was after. Hmmm, I'll keep working on it.
Steps to creating your own daily painting practice: Step #8 Pick yourself up when you fall
Lets face it, having a good strong goal is very important but the chances are very high there will be a day or two you will simply not able to get that painting done. Is that a good reason to quit? Absolutely not. Probably the hardest thing to do is regroup and continue. My original goal was to complete a painting every single day for 365 days and post that painting on my blog. In the end it didn't happen quite that way. So I didn't finish a painting every single day. However, since I started my project in November 2012, I have finished a little over 365 paintings and sold almost a hundred of them. I'm pretty happy with that result. :)
That is a huge accomplishment! Well done and keep going! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you Srishti! I appreciate your encouragement!
DeleteSo striking and wow! Those reds! Terrific style!
ReplyDeleteI do like an image that pops. Sounds like this one might be doing a little of that. :) Thank you very much Cindy!
DeleteBeautiful painting! It is hard to do a painting everyday and blog it and tweet it and FB it...whew! I admire all the daily painters. I paint or draw nearly everyday but the challenge has inspired me to do more. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Leada! Kudos to you for drawing and painting almost everyday! I've become a firm believer that daily effort is a very important step on the road to becoming the best artist we can be. Sounds like you are well on your way!
