Making progress - July 2024

The last month has been busy, but also fun.

I had a one week holiday at home with lots of rest, videos and games. I had planned several days for my art tutorial series, but that ended up being several hours across the last 2 days of my holiday. That was enough of a push, and I finished the next lesson a few days later:

After that I wanted to keep my momentum and quickly started work on the next lesson. Within a few days I had completed the video for lesson 4. However, that's when things started to unravel. I stalled on completing the blog post. The structure of the post I had started before was not the best, at least upon review. I tried to stick to it, then tried some minor adjustments. Yet, still I was not happy with the coherence of the post. So, I ended up procrastinating. This meant for the rest of the month, I pawed at the blog post and did not do much else relating to my creative projects.

As a consequence, I made no progress with my creative story planning this month.

But, near the end of the month I squeezed in 3 paintings, leading to a total of 4 for this month!

Admittedly the 4th painting I started and completed on the train ride home after work today. The 2nd and 3rd paintings, I did yesterday evening after work. I did them at the drawing club I go to, which I think shows the power of being around people who share your passion or hobby, and working on that same hobby together.

This is was the 1st painting I made this month.

When I completed this painting I was rather proud of it. I would scarcely believe that it would be possible for this to be the worst one this month. In comparison I find the other 3 to be much better.
