Art-a-Day: A little of this and that

A little of this and that

Well I have done some sketching with the Urban Sketchers down at The Blank Canvas and I have tried to finish a couple of old paintings...progress below.

I liked stage two and now I am discouraged and stuck. This last week I was too busy to get anything done but the Urban Sketchers. But alas I have not totally given up yet.

One other little artsy project I got sidetracked on was reviving some old rapidograph pens I decided to dig out. I have not drawn anything as of yet with them. I actually like all the fussing and repairing of these antiquated pens. Thanks to Adrian and his box of parts ;)

Laura Gable said...: I agree with Nancy. It is a wonderful start here Cindy, the colors are still pure and clean. Sit with it a few days and you will find your way.

And your sketch is fabuloso! I have some old rapidographs too. Will have to find them -- didn't know Adrian had the parts, but it doesn't surprise me. He has a bit of everything.

Thanks for posting your progress!!; January 21, 2014 at 10:41 AM

Welcome to Art-a-Day!

Care To Join Us?

The idea is to challenge yourself creatively every day for the month of January. Wherever you do your work, however you do your work, just show up every day and do it. It’s that simple. How to challenge yourself is up to you – but do challenge yourself & share your experiences here on this blog. This is a fun & powerful experience if you allow it.

-Show up.
-Trust the process.
-Share it.

Do I Have to Blog Everyday?

No. Though it's a good thing, a fun thing, and highly encouraged at least now and again. Some participation lets us know you are on board, inspires others and may be used to determine eligibility for inclusion in a show (if we have one).

Do I Make Art Everyday?

Yes. That is the commitment.

Art-a-Day is self-regulating

It is very loose; however diligence is expected because that's what makes it expansive -for you. That is, you commit yourself in whatever fashion you can to "doing" art every day. Add to your piece each day or create something new, it’s up to you. It might mean folding a paper napkin while you are on an airplane flying across the globe because that's all you could do that day - but it was intentional.

Questions?

Still have questions or want to join the challenge? Don't hesitate to ask - you can add a comment to one of my posts.

Joyful creating!
