Continuing the theme of stepping out of my comfort zone (what good is an art challenge aimed at helping you improve your art if you only stick to what you're good at?). I found this old Greek island calendar and decided to attempt to paint some of the photos in it. I loved the colors in this photo, so I thought it could make a fun painting. I didn't manage to take many photos of the process along the way (sometimes I just get into a zone and forget). I was pretty happy with the stairs, but I think the plants could use more practice.
This is the photo I started with:
What is #the100dayproject? Simply pick an art form you want to improve and commit it making 100 pieces of art, documenting your progress. The idea is to practice every day for 100 days, but rules are meant to be broken (especially in the art world!) so try to do a little bit every day, but don't stress if you miss a day here and there...the most important thing is that you eventually complete all your pieces. Tag your posts with #the100dayproject and I'll follow your progress! I'll be making 100 watercolor postcards. I just started using watercolors about a month ago, and I'm loving working with a more portable medium (as opposed to my usual oil paints). Want to see me try my hand at anything particular on one of my postcards? I'm up for challenges! Drop your suggestions in the comments!
