Three Hour Work Day Challenge: Day 6

Happy new year and welcome to the new twenties! As tradition dictates, I stayed up until midnight, had alcohol, and had a nice, quiet party at home. Didn’t drink too much, so I didn’t wake up hungover, but I did wake up with much little and much less quality sleep. STILL managed to get up

Three Hour Workday Challenge: Day 5

Waking up at 5 am every morning is not impossible! I see that now! Day 5 of waking up at 5 am and dedicating at least 3 hours to working on art. Every day it feels like it’s getting easier. This morning, I had that feeling again of not wanting to stay in bed because

Three Hour Workday Routine Challenge

Hey all! I hope you’ve had a wonderful Christmas! I had Boxing Day off too, so I couldn’t wait to get productive after two days of partying. I decided to make a new challenge for myself. Since I’m able, I’ve decided to make a new 7 Day challenge for myself to help further my art

Coffee with Art: On Criticism

Merry Christmas Eve… eve! I did do my morning coffee with art, but I got busy with last minute Christmas shopping (today I learned that the nearby craft store isn’t busy the day before Christmas eve! Yay!) So, now I’m posting right now. Okay! Story time! Yesterday, I posted my portrait on Instagram. Another portrait
