"A" hand 9x12 silky black 2/17/21

 

I was listening to Andrea Ehrnhardt's 12/28/20 Artist Academy podcast on "31 painting in 31 days" for January so I decided to start simple by sketching my hand everyday. 

Then once I've cleared some stuff off my platter I might do a daily painting challenge or not. I have some paintings and drawings in addition to some other projects I need to finish up first.

Some of her ideas for a painting challenge are

• finish up an unfinished painting everyday
• recreate what you enjoyed making the most
• practice what you want to be known for; butterfly, dragonfly, animal
• practice a medium
• variations of an idea/ idea generation; same animal presented different ways with fun facts (wildlifereferencephotos.com) 
• something beautiful from everyday life

Amee  hoover on instagram was given as an example.

She said to go on social media and post everyday. I'd rather go on the computer once a week and schedule out the postings.

Note that as a questioner (ref: Gretchen Ruben's "The Four Tendencies" book) I start projects whenever I feel like, not necessarily at the beginning of a month or year.
