 Hello, YouTube It's Saturday morning I am doing my day 56 check-in of the 100 day art challenge. So thank you for people who are Leaving such kind notes and having interesting conversations. I Having making these videos and having you guys say comments really motivates me to do this So today I heard a quote which I really like It's this your imagination can be your worst nightmare or your greatest superpower And it's actually in the Wu Tang documentary on Disney Plus. So good But yeah, I mean you can spend your time like coming up with elaborate things to worry about that are gonna happen in your future Or you can use your brain to make art so I Like that quote your imagination can be your worst nightmare or your greatest superpower. So today I was gonna I noticed some things that I've been doing which are helpful. So maybe they'll help you in the studio So the first one is I'm always looking for references like I found this from that. I just like that pose, right? so I'm gonna do something with that and Then I continue to go through my reference pile, right? So I'll add that picture here So that's one thing having having good references It's just handy Where there's passion there's quality people who make things make things better. I like that one Jump in let go trust yourself creativity rewards us all nice. Okay. Hey, good morning, Kathy. Good morning Okay, so the second thing I was gonna say was I having good light I have these they're just cheap like they're just cheap LED film lights and just having these on and moving them around Is really helpful. So I have two of them in here The third thing is is I use these water bottles a lot. I'm constantly like and I'm just kind of learning these tools and discovering them So this one I'll paint and then you just like spray a bunch of water on it and then it can it can run or it can Blend more. So yeah, I use a lot of water bottles and the last one is an idea for how to start a new piece of art so There's a canvas underneath here and I've just been putting paint on here dirty brushes dirty paper towel Just without thinking you put it on here and then it gives you something to start with the paint the painting underneath It's gonna give me something to start with Which is sometimes the hardest part, right? So you just look for happy accidents and one more thing is I made this clock Isn't that nice? I found it at value village like the second-hand store. I Made this quite a while ago, but I just found it again I used to have a problem is I'd like I'd work so much or Do busy-do-ed stuff that I'd forget to shower And so yeah, I don't know if that happens to any of you But that's something that Rebecca would ask me So it's a good reminder to clean yourself. I hope you guys are staying clean and I hope you guys are Making something have a really nice weekend. Bye
