“This Sweet Simple Existence”…Daily Art Project 2026- February
As part of my daily art project 2026, “This Sweet Simple Existence”, I am painting one painting a day and at the end of every month I will be reflecting on my experience of that month’s daily painting experience.
I started off the year quite ambitiously, painting on canvas primarily with water mixable oils. However, by the end of January, I found myself burnt out. Painting on canvas always comes with a lit bit of pressure and perfectionism requires a measure of preparation such as prepping the canvas with gesso and some forethought in terms of composition.
