For 2024 I want to get better at: 1. Kindness. Being kinder to myself in order to get past the lowly feeling of not creating the best artworks that I can produce. To improve my positivity, I will remind myself that even Michelangelo once said "I'm still learning". 2. 12 Paintings. I work full time and only have a few hours each week to dedicate to art. However, in 2024 I plan on drawing on lunch breaks and completing 1 painting per month. I'd like to end up with 12 paintings by the end of 2024. 3. Daily Value Studies. I'd like to apply some classic colour knowledge into my paintings. However, I must understand that Values come before Hue. Regular value studies, no matter how small or big, will grant me a lot of confidence when creating images from imagination. 4. Colour Paintings. I'd like to enforce some classic colour theory into my paintings directly. Whereas most of my paintings right now have been Grisaille based, with colour applied indirectly. I'm aware I may be biting off more than I can chew. More than likely this will become a task for 2025 :D
