I have never been one to do these kinds of challenges and to be honest, when I have tried I typically fail hard! LOL. For some reason, this one appears to be sticking...and here are the TOP 4 reasons why I think that’s happening:
1. I’m working small and in a sketchbook.
This allows me to have a small session of creating (2 hrs approx) so I can squeeze it into my life and working in a sketchbook makes it less precious.
2. I’ve limited my supplies.
This is a big one for me. I tend to overcomplicate my process at times and end up using waaaay too many mediums...which is fun but adds to the overall scope of the project. By having a very limited selection of mediums this helps streamline the creative process and reduces decision making.
3. Someone else is telling me what to do!
By following a word prompt, I don’t have to decide what the piece is going to be about. I have a word, I think of how I want to express that word and then off I go. Sometimes the blank page and endless options can lead me to overwhelm aka NOT making ART!
4. I’m creating each piece with a similar style, similar mark-making, and line work.
I’m approaching each piece with a similar style - this limits the decisions I need to make. It also allows me to create cohesion within this series of works.
These conclusions have helped me see how a daily practice can be more approachable and effective. I hope these concepts might spark some ideas for you too!
Happy creating!
