Okay, I did it! Day 4; completed my 50 in watercolor!

I actually needed to do 100 in colour. The truth is, I needed to do 100 on daily basis this 12 months! 500 in every week! – However I’m a good distance from attaining that.

It’s type of an attention-grabbing aim. 500 in every week. I haven’t actually tried it for actual, however I preserve desirous about it 😉 A genuinely silly concept, which may truly be wonderful when you completed it.

You’d actually should be organized. Like – the largest downside is the moist drawings. If I used to be utilizing dry media I might simply work in a ebook. However you’ll be able to’t do this in watercolor – an excessive amount of ready to show the web page, to a lot re-visiting the drawings for darks.

I used to tape every web page to it’s personal (coroplast) drafting board, however you’ll be able to solely actually carry six boards in your common day bag. I’ve used bigger boards. Possibly that’s the trick – carry a set of 16×20″ panels – draw 10-15 figures per sheet. I’ve completed this multi-drawing-page factor in life drawing lessons for this precise motive. Coping with the moist sheets if you don’t have a whole lot of room to work.

However you’d want 6-8 coroplast panels. or maybe fewer when you taped paper to either side. An individual might carry that every one day, particularly when you made some type of sling. However an enormous board could be unimaginable on a windy day. It is perhaps a lot better to do that in summer time. March continues to be too quickly in Montreal. I’ve been working small this week, with solely a tiny shoulder bag, as a result of I’m out and in of the subway and the cafes. With the large panels you’re caught working exterior, virtually talking.

Or; possibly I might return to books, and simply carry three books. They’re making sketchbooks thinner lately so you possibly can minimize down on the additional weight. When you alternate, and it’s a sunny day, it is perhaps attainable to go from unfold to unfold and have dry pages by the point you’re again to ebook one. I do know that may work on a sizzling dry day, particularly if there’s a breeze.

See, there’s sufficient concepts on the market to do #OneWeek100People greater than yearly 🙂 It appears like I have to attempt a midsummer marathon 🙂 Let me know if anybody is all for doing it extra usually! Possibly it might be 3 times a 12 months.
