It’s wonderful to track my progress in a self-set 100 portraits challenge!
Hello, hello! Welcome to my latest update! I wanted to start by updating you all on progress in my 100 portraits challenge ‘The Impermanence Series’. I started in September 2024 and have finished number 73. Aiming to reach 100 before September so I can complete them before the 2-year anniversary!
My own personal 100 Portraits Challenge is to paint 100 figurative studies, in order try different approaches, colours and techniques. Subject matter includes self-portraits, icons and family members. And with 27 left to go I feel like I’ve learned a massive amount, from colour-mixing, blending, using different tools and generally enjoying making a mess at times. Follow my progress on Instagram over the next few months and check out how number 100 looks! I welcome all cheerleaders.
