“This Sweet Simple Existence”…Daily Art Project 2026 - May
Read about my process and the lessons learnt from my daily art practice during the month of May. I can’t believe another month of daily painting has gone by. After a hectic month of painting frantically in April, May has been much less stressful. I was painting primarily in my sketchbook with watercolors, wax pastels and some gouache. I tried to stick to the theme of still life and food art but I veered into portraits, everyday objects here and there.

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.
Sketchbook Practice
Even though last year I went on a months-long art break, I still managed to do a few illustrations here and there in order to maintain my sketchbook practice. These are mostly finished pieces based off Skillshare classes I took done on my Canson sketchbook.
