30 ✨🎉 It's a whole month!!! "What a ride" - Ollie, probably. Can you spot him one more time?

It's been an amazing month, thank you all so much for following along and supporting me! It's been awesome to see all the beautiful paintings and get inspired every day by hardworking people. I feel I learned and grew so much over these 30 days! 💪

This is also the first time in my life I completed a challenge!! Last year I tried pleinairpril for the first time - and I gave up after 6 or 7, it was too difficult.
So yeah, celebrating and who knows what's next, stay tuned ✨

Thank you for amazing brushes from @ninjayuhki - also, for the amazing perspective crash course! This month would have been much more difficult without understanding how to set up perspective grids.
And thank you @_lea.pinto_ who who teached me how to paint effective studies in 1 hour in her wonderful class, I use it all here!
And thank you @zacretz for showing the way!

All 30 this year! ✨ As a tradition, 1st one and 30th one side by side. My 4th year participating, 2nd time completing. Last year did 25 and burned out.

This year was tricky cause I entered pleinairpril after working really hard for 8 months, didn’t paint for myself for quite a while and was so rusty. First 15 were a pain to finish. I forgot how to have fun with my own stuff.

I forgot that sometimes you need to actually DO something to FEEL better later. 16th one was the first one I felt I wasn’t waiting for the timer to stop and when I actually had fun. For 30th one I was loving the process, again. Thank you pleinairpril ✨

Thanks if you made it this far! Idk I thought maybe this could be relatable to someone going through - I don’t like the word but aright - art block or something similar.

30! ✨🥳🥳 WE DID IT THE WHOLE MONTHHH!! Can you find my cat one more time? 🥹 It’s two of him

It’s becoming a tradition to finish with cityscapes. kinda therapeutic, loooved working on this one, expect more city paintings soon

For this year I was focusing on painting fast, everything was timed and most of them took from 15 to 60 minutes. Not this one though 😂 And because I timed all of them, this saved me from detailing and potentially burning out and quitting, the mistake i did last year. Love how this challenge makes you discover how to work with yourself, and I definitely learned a lot!

Was so inspiring to see lots of lovely work this month, discovering new artists and supporting old friends. Thank you @warriorpainters for all those years of making us better artists 💪

Brushes from @ninjayuhki
listened to lectures from amazing @_lea.pinto_ (from a while ago) while painting this one, helped a lot as always!

28 and 29! Painted yesterday’s one today cause yesterday I broke my toe, had a riding lesson and walked 10000 steps, the order of the stuff is correct 😁 how do you spend your Tuesdays?

Cat is already sending me healing energy like it’s his full time job ✨ which it kinda is 🤔 by @nat_bug_art
