Xena: Routine

I’ve got a routine going now. Nicolaides book exercises –> Draw or paint –> Write –> Read –> Repeat.

I’m running behind my schedule today so I’m going to keep this short.

Xena is still going well. Trying to establish all the dark areas. Lots of black hair.

I tried some simplified gestures today. Focusing on the simplest forms that described the gesture.

What went well?

Focused

What didn’t go so well?

Not enough sleep, took a longer nap to make up for it.

What did I learn and/or how can I do better?

Letting go and being my authentic self is much harder than I realized.

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.
