100 Days Wild and Free

Participating this year in the 100 Day project. This may be my 6th or 7th year participating (lost track). Only twice have I completed all 100 days of a project.

The 100 Day Project is a yearly global art project online, anyone can participate in creating something for 100 days. The type of project is all up to you. This challenge began February 2023, but you can still join in anytime. Many people share their process/project on Instagram which gives you some accountability to keep going but you don’t have to share something everyday or at all.

My project this year is 100 Days Wild and Free, it’s about creative play, experimenting with old artwork and new. My goal is to stretch the imagination, to create and be messy without the need for perfection. All in all its about having fun with the process!

Day 1/100

(mixed media, ink doodle paired with an old watercolor landscape)

This is what I have accomplished so far:

The last three images days 22-24 was a study of one image done three different ways.

* Anyone participating in this project too? If so let me know.

Six feet under

During the month of August I will be posting some of my favorite illustrations from my participation in The 100 Day Challenge on Instagram

Day 85 of my 100 days of songs illustrated.

Song inspiration: Six Feet Under by Billie Ellish – “Our love is six feet under I can’t help but wonder if our grave was watered by the rain, would roses bloom?..”

 

 

In the video below I am using acrylic paint on 140 lb on cold press paper. If you notice a little difference in the drawing  at this stage, I decided to change up the figure midway through the process because the image wasn’t working for me visually.

 

 

Working with mixed media, here I am adding watercolor to lower portion of artwork.

 

Thank you for taking the time to view my art and process.
