I´ll be working on postcard size paper, basically because thats what I have lying around here and I didn´t want to buy something new.

At first I wanted to use watercolors, but it´s no watercolor paper, so I decided to use my beautiful colored pencils that I own for years and never really have used. Now I am really looking forward to get more practice with them.

I´ll be painting in the morning, when everybody else in the house has gone off to school and I´m supposed to do my household chores... ;)

I´ll try to do seven days and then see if I´m tempted to do more.

I´m not to pleased with my day 1 project, but I´ll keep practicing. Guess that´s what it´s all about!

This one was fun! A relaxing doodle while listening to an audio book :)

Day 4

I took another class to practice my blending techniques ( Drawing with colored pencils by Emmy Kalia) and the class project happend to be a fruit - so I´ll take this for todays project also.

I really like this commitment to daily art practice. It is so fun to see what you can do and learn with just a little practice ( And if you just do it instead of just thinking about it!) . Also I find it very helpful to have all the decisions about materials and objects already done before starting. So you can just start away every day...

So, I made it to day seven! It was a really nice week and I´ll definitly keep on drawing every day. But I won´t aim on finishing a drawing every day. I realized now that I sometimes would like to put a drawing away to pull it out again a few days later - especially if I´m not pleased with the result. Today I started drawing my coffee cup, but I didn´t get it right. So I guess I´ll try that again soon.

And maybe I´ll switch to watercolors in a while to see if I like them better.

Anyway, it´s been a great class. Thank you!
