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 #226 - Another penny in the jar

Once again I worked on the pastel piece - I believe I need one or two more sessions until I can wrap up. I like seeing the polish that comes out of this extra work put in. Not sure if the particular painting deserves it, but then again, why not?
Later on I did some doodling while I was playing with the neighbor's kid and then some more doodles (to test the apple pencil and keep myself occupied) but nothing very enthusiasticaly. Still, I want to put things in a optimistic perspective - so let's sum up: The pastel painting is going well, and I am seeing the point in going the extra mile with adding a bit polish. Using my pentel pocket brushpen reminded me how much I love the brush control it gives me and made me relax in knowing that not everything needs to be a painting/drawing. Sometimes it can be a pattern test, or a line on the paper. The digital doodles were fun doing (using both hands to control opacity, and size at the same time) and this approach of sketching is something that I'm liking a lot and seems to be some sort of trademark technique of mine. Who knows, something might come out of it. Time for bed the Mandalorian.
