Valerie Butters is an established artist from Canada.
her works are mostly filled with lovely flowers.
she had a great start.
on her day-7, she was already working on day-8,
"I am ahead of myself...lol)"
but sadly, she only made it to day-12
due to death(s) in her family.
anyhow, i'm certain her entire run
would have been a very memorable one,
like a journey into a garden of flowers.
you can check out her beautiful paintings at
her website.
Day 8 by Valerie Butters.
"Drawing has been something
I have promised myself
time and time again to integrate
into my process as a routine.
Why not start now?"
drawing is something...well, how should i put it.. :
like playing the classic Nintendo's Mario Bros.
back in those days, we had limited game cartridges,
because they were so expensive and we would play
the same game over and over again,
even though when we had finished passing all the levels.
"mastering it to perfection."
and do i need to remind you that back in those days,
there wasn't any SAVE feature for 80s video game console.
we lose, we start the entire game again.
so, can you imagine how many times
i've played Mario Bros Level 1?
(i bet i still can!)
i'm sure many people out there also shares
this similar fond memories.
anyway,
the more you play, the better you get.
you'll know when to sprint, when to jump.
which brick to knock down.
which secret path to take.
and which pipe to go in.
by the 100th time,
you'll probably be more familiar of
that particular level than your own room.
you'll be flying.
similar to drawing
or any other technical skills.
the more you practice, the better you get.
practice makes perfect.
in 30dayartist,
every artist that signed up,
holds the same mentality
of committing themselves
into a routine of
everyday "practicing".
shaping it. molding it.
over and over again.
30-days. non-stop.
every artist carries the same hope
of reaching perfection of their craft.
the perfection of finding
that harmonious tune,
syncing themselves and their work,
into one.
they want it, because they know that
they themselves 'need' it.
and probably by the end of the day-30 (100th times),
they'll be flying already.
(just like Neo)
'nuff said.
and for today's "practice":
