Turning the year’s half-way point, I decided (against better judgement) to start a new project. My tutor tells me it’s unrealizable, too rigid, impossible to carry through. For better or worse I take his words as a challenge …
this is what I do:
Every morning I start my day of making with a simple still life.
Th is what I doEvery morning I start my day making a simple still life.
These are the set points:
- The still life will be the first thing I make every morning
- All works are made on A3 paper
- The set up is limited to 5 objects (can be fewer)
- Time frame: Max 15 minutes
These are the variables:
- Type of paper
- Tools
- Materials
- Set-up
Three weeks in … still fun
– and only 344 days to go 😂😂😂

I hope so 😅💚

I love it! Still 344 days, a whole year? That IS a challenge, but I like it. I wish I would have the strength and the energy to do it!
I know the project will challenge me, and maybe it will be too much, but I’ll never find out unless I try. What I do know is that working within a set structure reduce the chance for overwhelm, and strangely, limitations tend to foster new discoveries… 💚
That sounds very reasonable to me!
I agree with what you said to Almuth about the benefit of limitations. Good for you!
