Paint Everyday

atombabble Visual Art DK30 New Year 2023 2 1

Description

The goal is to jump start and revitalize the habit of painting, something I once loved doing. My interest and love for painting has waned in recent years and I would like to bring this back into my life. A simple project, I aim to paint for at least 30 minutes a day. Bonus points if I finally finish some of my unfinished pieces.

I am quite pleased with this DK30! I did not finish eight paintings as initially projected but I did paint a lot and I did complete some larger pieces. Most importantly I have taken this opportunity to develop a habit I can most certainly keep up, and this is the most exciting part to me.

The highlights were finishing that dog portrait and completing The Mantis. I think The Mantis is my favorite painting from this:

These are all for sell if anyone wants em! :)

I am moving onto a bunch of Mario character portraits. My family and I play Mario Party every Sunday and I decided they should all have a MP portrait:

And I also want a rubber duck painting for while i teach myself more programming:

Whoops! Haven’t been updating! Though I have been painting. I have not kept strictly to the 30 minutes a day goal. I always set these time limit centric goals and they almost never work for me (if nothing else comes of DK30 - at least I have this statement in writing now and will maybe finally learn).

Anyway, this past week I chose to focus on finishing paintings. After finishing the dog commission I felt such a huge weight lifted off me I was so amped to finalize more paintings.

I finished the monstera, beetle, and praying mantis paintings! I would say I feel pretty on track for my goals. I have already completed four pieces and have quite a few ideas in the queue.

I have not finished 2 paintings yet but I am close! I think I might even be on track? The first one I finished was this commission which has been haunting me for almost a year. Its a painting of a dog which I will probably never do again.
