As if my life isn't hectic enough (smiles), I've decided to start a Painting a Day Challenge for October 2014!
I've been only dimly aware of this movement, but it wasn't until I saw a local artist offering a workshop in it that I became inspired to jump on the band wagon (as it were). The only difference is that I haven't found any postings online where someone did this with watercolour paintings. I can't imagine that I've stumbled upon a completely new take on this. I think it's more likely that I just haven't found them yet!
I plan on following the majority of the rules for other Painting a Day Challenges:
1) size will be either 4x6 or 5x7
2) any topic I choose
3) commit to at least 1 painting/day
That's it! Over the course of the next few weeks I will be planning my month out (choosing photos/subjects, collecting supplies, arranging my schedule, and prepare my "studio"). And because I bore easily, I thought it would be a good idea to set weekly "themes" so that every week I paint something a little different.
I will post each painting as it's complete, with a bit of description and whether it's up for sale or not.
I would love to know if you have ever done anything like this and what your experience with it was (loved it/hated it, what you might do differently, would you do it again?) and you are more than welcome to join me and post your paintings here. I'm sure we'd make a wonderful support team! Wish me luck :)
