day #365 - the end of an era

Image
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 #214 - Something?

Hmm, I don't like what I did today. I like that I did it, but the end result is what young people these days call ...cringe.
But we are here to accept our work and I don't know if there is a person in this universe that might consider this piece pretty (today I'm particularly negative about my overall artistic level) - I will be impressed if somebody likes this.
Anyway, what was good today? I used gouache for a more illustrative work. Despite my high hopes, I realized I don't have the same level of control I have with acrylic (not much to begin with, but still I wonder why, they feel so similar). Still I did a bit o shading and created a palette too, so this must amount to something. Plus (trying to think positively here) I did create a painting with a narrative, a certain degree of premeditation. At the same time, I did my dues today, which was more than yesterday or the day before that and above all
I got another bad painting out of my system; I'm one painting closer to a good one.
