I enjoy the blogs and art of so many other people and yet never get around to posting things myself, so here goes.<br />

I was tempted to go to Ferguson to draw the protests, but it's not safe. Even daredevils I know said it was not a good scene, and one was robbed at gunpoint. So I drew this from the live coverage on TV late at night as we watched, sadly, the burning of businesses and livelihoods. <br />

I'm trying to use up a sketchbook that has paper that is kind of good for nothing. It drains my markers, clogs my pens, and devours my paint. I used watersoluble crayons for the above picture. Then I doodled some simplified critters for a bit and had fun doing a herd of horned critters as part of my Sketchbook Skool homework.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In July 2011 I decided to paint 100 pictures, with no deadline for completion. I just finished the 100th painting, so it took 2.5 years. Someone asked me once what I was learning from doing a project like this, so here are some things I learned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Doing a value sketch beforehand is very helpful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It's ok to do a 2nd or 3rd or 4th (or...) version of a subject. The old masters did this. And you can even change the medium. I did watercolor, oil, acrylic and gouache paintings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If you go to a workshop or a paint-out, you'll get several pictures to count towards your goal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It's nice to have others join you on their own big number projects. I had a few people join me along the way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Sometimes you can have a mini project with the project: I set a goal of 20 paintings in 20 days at one point, just to make some headway. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It's ok if the paintings are not as successful as you envisioned them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It's ok to play and experiment with media.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Goals are good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">You have to commit yourself to working, to showing up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">You get to 100 one painting at a time. One step at a time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I think it was a very worthwhile thing to do, and I'm thinking of setting a goal for the next year--maybe 50 pictures in a year? Not sure. I also might consider a broader definition of what kind of a piece I am creating. My painting project competed with other creative endeavors--I make my own birthday cards, I did some experimental drawings, I was involved in 2 art camps and taught several painting classes, I took a mixed media class. Maybe it will be 2D paintings/pictures. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">One of the reasons I did this project was to just force myself to paint, to produce work and learn from each painting and have fun doing it. I would encourage anyone to consider setting a goal and then going for it. </span><br />

You have NO IDEA how addicting that can be for someone who loves to draw. I tried to think of some online art friends who have participated and could only think of Alissa Duke, who lives in Australia, I think, but she had a sketchbook in the mobile library and I read it. It was marvelous! Having looked at the digital gallery at the website <a href="http://www.sketchbookproject.com/">www.sketchbookproject.com</a> now I realize there are several other EverydayMatters artists who have work in the project. Anyway, here's the mobile library, parked near the City Museum, and me holding Alissa's sketchbook. <br />
<br />
If you get a chance to visit the mobile library, do it. It is a delight! And take friends!<br />

I did this 1/4 sheet watercolor from a small sketch made during a piano recital. I'm trying to put the lessons I learned from the Carl Purcell workshop into practice--changing the temperature of the washes, leaving whites, connecting shapes, keeping a value pattern in mind.Linda Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00374005044093855975noreply@blogger.com0
