Wednesday, January 6, 2021 30 Days Became 4 Months

Watercolor Wednesday has a nice ring to it, but I think this will also include any other artsy/crafty things I’ve got going on. It’s kind of weird sharing these things because it seems like an invitation for admiration, but I don’t know why sharing artwork should be that much different from sharing any other kind of produced work. I love looking at other people’s art, so maybe some of you feel the same way.

Okay, with all that navel gazing out of the way, here’s the “rest of the story” about my experience with the Jump-Start with Jenny lessons on YouTube that I did. The 30 days of lessons ended up taking 4 months, but my goal was to finish it. The last 6 lessons were way more detailed and required a fair amount of sketching ahead of time. The last project was “artist’s choice,” so I take full blame and/or credit for it. 🙂

I think my least favorite to work on and to look at is the Urban Sketch – it was from a photograph I took in Mantorville. All in all, I learned a LOT and recommend the lessons.

Sometimes I get caught up in the existential crisis of “what’s the point of all of this,” but there’s a joy that comes with being creative and in learning a skill and that seems to be enough “point” for now.

Bah – more naval gazing.

Let me know if you have a favorite of the above – maybe I’ll just send it to you! I don’t really have other plans for these.

I’ll probably delete this in the morning, if I can find it.
