3141: Vulnerability Four, Session 4

My in-laws flew back home last night after a wonderful visit for a week.

Vulnerability Four

Today is my first day back to a normal routine but I’m still struggling as yesterday’s PM routine was not the best. I’ve built up some sleep debt that I need to pay back for the next few days so that I can create at my best as soon as possible.

For this painting today I focused on establishing some color on the body but soon realized that the value and chroma of the background needed to change. I neutralized the background and lowered it’s value to give the figure more prominence.

What went well, what was awesome! Celebrate It!

Getting back on track and showing up every day.

What needs work? What did you learn?

Get back to my PM routine.

How am I going to Optimize moving forward?

Focus on my PM schedule and rock it!

I'm an artist on a mission to do at least 30 minutes of art every single day for the rest of my life and track that progress on my website for all to see. I'm past the 10 year mark and I'm still going strong. Now it's time to give back and help other artists create a life long habit of creating.
