Thanks to all who joined me for the Be a Daily-ish

Thanks to all who joined me for the Be a Daily-ish Painter in September challenge! It was an fun month...and we painted! Hope the Monday paint alongs helped you start your weeks with the "painting foot". Keep going, paint as frequently as you can and keep it simple while you form the habit of daily(ish) painting. Forming this habit (about 6 years ago) was the best thing I have done for my painting...and the biggest secret: having a supportive tribe while we do it makes the difference ❤️. Hope this month together gave you a little bit of that tribe feeling.

Exploring tools "Aha!" moment! I painted an orange

Exploring tools "Aha!" moment! I painted an orange pepper yesterday morning...I liked it but It felt like a "too safe" painting; first time I feel that! I wanted to explore right on top of it but I was afraid of ruin it 😂...WHY??? that's what daily painting is for!!! Well, I was frozen for a day 😝, and that's called RESISTANCE. If this happens to you on a 6x6" painting, please go ahead and explore on top of it! Or, do what I did after 9 hours of thinking!!! And let me tell you, this discovery (that probably others have been using for years and It just clicked for me!) was an accident! Can you guess what my original plan was?
.
Both, the actual tool and the procedure were "Aha!" moments for me (more to come).

Ready for our last week together? I cannot believe

Ready for our last week together? I cannot believe how fast this month went by! So, be ready for our Monday paint along on Instagram, this time at 9:00am EST. Have your panel, underpainting and simple sketch ready before Monday at 9....even if you are going to watch first and then paint....that way you'll be ready to start playing with color right after the demo ends.
Can't wait!
PS: remember add #6x6happyhabit to the copy section when posting your creations ...that way we can all find them 😃

Yeap, I gave myself an extra challenge 🤦🏻‍♀️. That was the reason for my urgent flower run to @traderjoes (looking for orange and blue flowers!) Second photo: cover of Preview magazine by the North Carolina Museum of Art, fall 2022)
