Coming up in June: #30x30DirectWatercolor2019

Where did all the #30×30 posts go?!?

I’ve moved everthing from #30x30DirectWatercolor to its own page.

Click Here – or – go to the tab #30x30DirectWatercolor on the navigation bar.

Thanks!

Original Post:

It’s almost time again for #30x30DirectWatercolor2019. The annual event where we celebrate the speed and power of Direct Watercolor by making 30 paintings in 30 days in the month of JUNE 2019.

I’m sure most of you remember how this works, but let’s do a quick recap how simple it is:

• PAINT 30 watercolors in 30 days, from June 1-30, 2019.
• SHARE your paintings in our new Facebook group <HERE (We’d like to centralize the discussion around this group, to spare our usual sketching clubs all the extra traffic this might create :)
• HASHTAG work on your own social pages with: #30x30DirectWatercolor2019. Here are some FAQs on how to use hashtags: FB | IG | Twitter.

Forward momentum is the key. You’ll surprise yourself when you push past caring if the work is ‘good’. Or if anyone else likes it. Or if you’re using the right colors. Or getting the perspective right.

All these things fall by the wayside when you’re working intensely. Showing up in front of the paper day after day. Past the halfway, your subconscious starts dreaming about painting. When you come back the next day, the paint just flows.

So get ready – buy a stack of paper –  and we’ll see you in June!
