DAY 1 SELF PORTRAIT CHALLENGE

Jan 27 2018

I decided I wanted to start painting again everyday because I knew what skills I once had were very out of practice. Resistance already started kicking in. What should I paint? Where do I start? Back to Youtube and I found Simple Art Tips who had done a 20 Day Self Portrait Challenge. Ok easy enough I thought but of course on the day I decided to get started self doubt and procrastination was setting in.

So instead I decided to "test" my brand new oil paints. I've never used oil paint before so I had been spending time doing research and watching Youtube tutorials for beginners.

Finally I had to get Day 1 done so I used the left over paint I had been playing with. Not a lot of effort but it was done, daunting Day 1 was done.
