I mentioned on Monday that I was going to challenge myself to make art every day this week. Here's how I did!
Monday
Chanel N.5
I had so much fun with this painting. The glass jars were a fun challenge. I painted this based on a photo, whose source I can't find, but you can see it
here on Pinterest.
Tuesday
Polish and Pearls
On Tuesday, I grabbed my two favorite nail polishes and my favorite jewelry for a still life painting. The nail polishes are Essie's Ballet Slippers, and L'Oreal's Greycian Goddess.
Wednesday
Peach Peonies and Pink Roses
On Tuesday night, I skyped with my little sister, who recently got engaged, to discuss her wedding invitations. I couldn't help but get started on it the next day! These florals are inspired by
this bouquet.
Thursday
Yesterday was probably my best painting day of the week. I was feeling very discouraged after receiving yet another rejection email for a job I felt very qualified for, again without the chance to interview. Painting took my mind off my troubles. It's great therapy.
Coffee Table Style
Friday
I don't have anything to show for today yet, and honestly, I'm not sure I will have time to do any drawing or painting later today. It's shaping up to be a busy weekend, but hopefully I'll be able to take a few minutes to de-stress with my pencils and paints.
Did you enjoy my art? Follow me on I
nstagram for the behind the scenes, and if you really like my style, I'm considering offering prints of some of my paintings in my Etsy shop, so stay tuned!
