Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days, September 2016 – Day 1

Last January I entered Leslie Saeta’s painting challenge: Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days.

It was a really good experience, I learned a lot and I ended up exhibiting all 30 paintings last April.

This September I’m having another go at the challenge.

This time I decided to be less strict. Leslie Saeta said it herself: there are no rules, just to have fun and ‘paint’ more than you would’ve if you didn’t participate. A ‘painting’ doesn’t strictly need to be a painting, it can be a drawing, a linocut, whatever your medium is.

For the month of September I’m going to draw in nature daily, mostly at the Amsterdamse Bos (Amsterdam Forest) and my ‘paintings’ will actually be drawings.

I found out about the challenge and Leslie Saeta through her podcast Artist Helping Artists which I highly recommend!!
