Over on both Mac Taro Holmes' and Liz Steel's blogs there's announcements about 30x30 Direct Watercolour 2018. It's a challenge which works on a similar basis to the one week 100 people challenge earlier this year. This is from Marc's blog: -
What is #30x30DirectWatercolor2018?
·
PAINT 30 watercolors in 30 days, from June 1-30 2018.
·
POST your paintings in our new Facebook group: <HERE
We’d like to centralize the discussion around this group, to spare our usual
sketching clubs all the extra traffic this might create :)
·
HASHTAG your work on any other social media (twitter, instagram) with the
hashtag: #30x30DirectWatercolor2018.
Any size, format or subject is ok.
·
I plan to paint in watercolor,
working as directly as possible. But if you want to tint drawings, or add in
some mixed media, we’re not going to be enforcing rules. I won’t
however, have a lot of advice about techniques I’m not thinking about this
month.
·
Our goal is experiencing sustained
daily practice. If it’s better for you to do seven paintings on the weekend
instead of one a day, that’s totally ok. Same with posting progress. One a day
makes a good story – but do what works for you.
·
It’s also completely normal if you
fail to make 30! Or to need a few extra days. Like any marathon, just
participating is the first reward. Though I’m sure any of us can catch up with
some super fast, super small sketches
if we have to!
I plan to have a go, which will probably mean painting more sketches as watercolours in order to keep up my personal one sketch a day for a year challenge.
