day #365 - the end of an era

I thought I was on top of it; I had finished early and was looking for a movie to watch already 3 hours ago. And I don't know how time went by. A phonecall, some networking studying, some online shopping and here we are, already past the time for an early movie. Regardless, today is a special day. The blog is over! I finished 365 days of daily painting and recording it, whatever that means. A big part of the process I will have to keep doing mainly for myself. Perhaps taking daily photos of my work and saving it on some folder. This has provem useful many times when I trying to date a piece I've been working on. Also making a small diary of today's achievements. It's still useful. But this will be done for my eyes only. I also don't know if I will be continuing my obsessively daily painting. How would life be if I had days off? Now for example that I'm moving out and I have to daily chores that until now were completely taken care of, perhaps I'll allow my

day #96 - a short relief

Another day struggling to do what needs to be done; I finished the posters and hopefully won't need any revisions. I managed to do some posture practice and now I can finally head to bed. I'm satisfied with the poster designs. Posture practice was good. I like the small silhouettes a lot and the athletic ones are quite dynamic which I am happy about. Switching from the design to gestures was very difficult and I can see that right now I'm very reluctant to do more analytic drawing work! The mere thought of any more drawing practice, is cause my gag reflex - which is a sign that I've had too much for now.

I just remembered I did three watercolor wishing cards today (during my lunch break) but was in such a rush that it feels I did it years ago. Funny how I forgot about it, probably the highlight of my artistic work today! While the two designs were very derivative and pretty much copied from the google image search the third one was not only interesting and original but also looked  nice!I enjoyed the ability to draw silhouettes with character and flowing movements and play with watercolors in a watercolory way.

Bed time!
