Why I decided to join the #the100dayproject - again! Will you join me?!

Yay! I’m doing it again!

I’ve decided (very last minute) to join the #the100dayproject again this year! Will you join me?!

Why I decided to join the #the100dayproject - again!

If you are not familiar with the #the100dayproject, it’s a global project where thousands of creatives commit to doing something creative for 100 days straight!!

Why I decided to join the #the100dayproject

I’ve participated in the project in the past but have never made it to 100 days!

Last year, I attempted to use my Canon Rebel to shoot a photo a day. I did ok, I just fizzled out around day 20something… I think. I am going to give the project a go again this year, and have decided to work on a tiny painting a day.

My painting won’t always be detailed or finished, but I have decided to focus more on my art this year and thought, “why not join the #the100dayproject!”.

Getting ready to paint a tiny painting for 100 days starting April 2nd!

Painting a tiny painting a day will help me with practice, to develop my artistic style and will give me time for creative play without having the pressure of needing to create a finished piece for a client, project or under pressure.

I’ll be able to play with color, form and subject matter. Just free, open and low pressure.

I’m excited!

Not familiar with the project? You can read more about the initiative here.

How I will share my daily tiny paintings

Here’s a sneak peek at Day 1 of my tiny paintings, An abstract acrylic painting that is loose, simple and was fun to begin with! I’m excited to see what day 100 looks like!

I will be posting my daily art pieces on my stories in Instagram, so follow along @lifeidesign and I’d love to see what you are working on if you plan to join the project with me!

Tag me, DM me and let’s help each other commit to being creative with the #the100dayproject together!!

Good luck and have fun!
