 Hi, it's day 37 of the hundred-day art challenge Good morning. It's early. I've been getting up really early I'm in my art studio and I'm making art every day for a hundred days To help with anxiety specifically for me I've done this in the past when I've had to run been felt depressed and art helped then too So, um, okay, I feel I'm just gonna switch this around I'm working on trade show stuff. I'm doing this So I'm doing lots of line work What I like to do is I Love the Indian ink Black inks really dark black inks and what I really like to do is I Grab gather feathers like if you go somewhere you grab feathers and and The art that you're making from that location you use that the feather from there I Like these these are scalpels you can buy them on Amazon Dissection kits. They're just the best crafting knives and they come with these knives that switch on and off You just go like this Anyways, that's what I do or these Calligraphy brushes and you can get some great tips for doing thick black lines like this one look at that one That tip it spreads when you press it see and It does beautiful thick black lines and they're nice and dark and rich and then when you resin over Indian ink The block just becomes super dark. Okay, so that's what I'm doing today and Then I was putting lines on these ones see I don't know where these are going I'm trying to bring These forms back here. So that's a Piece I started maybe 20 years ago. I never finished So I painted these gold this is In Paris that's Rebecca and This piece I saw in Paris by the I think it's by the artist that did list shot noir That poster I forget his name This So it's gold leaf and the paper shows do and then it's black ink and so I I did gold enamel and black I find Gold enamel Works just as good as gold leaf once you resin it and it's so much easier to apply But it's really stinky and you should do it outside Okay I'll show you one more thing I'm just starting to break I want to I have to make her head bigger and I'm starting to bring skin tones into her body I'll probably take these ones out of here soon So I only can focus on winter All right, I Just want to say I guess when I make these videos I feel like oh Thanks red dove for the nice comment Sorry, I don't reply to comments. I make these videos and then I delete YouTube because I Just I have a bad habit of getting lost watching videos I Feel like I need to be cheering everyone on to do this and then there's days when you just don't want to you know And I've been pretty good for the last while I've been really excited and Positive and then there's days like today and lately where You're not it's not so easy to do but To try and do it anyways try and just make art try and just make art when you don't feel like doing it Maybe that's the best time to actually do it because as you're making art and you get lost in stuff your brain solves problems It's really amazing and then in the end you've created something Which is the ultimate reward of this is at the end of making art every single day You have beautiful art and then there's a whole nother side to all this you get to Show people will see it and Then what you can talk about it, and then your life just becomes Full of art Which in the end makes everything better? Okay, I hope you're making art You can download this somewhere It's a tracker I'm gonna do add to this design I want it so that you can draw how you feel every day built into this, but it's really helpful It's just a tracks and then I'm tracking my mood as I make art You know and just kind of goes up and down with waves, right?
