all that glitters...

August is whizzing by and I can't quite believe I only have one week of my challenge left. I will miss it in some ways, but won't miss the struggle of finding time to paint. Some of these have been very late night sessions.

Time to challenge myself! 30 paintings in 30 days. But there are more rules to make things interesting 😈 1. One subject. For me, horses obviously. 2. Six mediums: Watercolour, gouache, acrylic, ink, pastel, graphite. 3. Only 5 paintings in each medium. So... I have put the name of each medium on a straw, to be drawn each morning, so I never know what I will get! Once I have drawn/used a medium 5 times, that straw will go in the bin so potentially the scope could narrow fairly quickly. Time will tell. Day one was graphite. Not my favourite medium and one of the reasons for the challenge; to get me out of my comfort zone and try different things Day two was ink and another medium I don't usually use, talk about in with a bang! I thought I would try my hand at zentangling for this one. It hurt my eyes! I now have to wait and see what tomorrow brings! You can follow my progress on instagram @hrequineart
