Today was one of those “I know what I’m doing here, and I have a list the length of my arm to slay because it’s MONTH END omgDOOOOOOM, so I’m just going to take a few deep breaths and get it done.” days.
I have to say, I haven’t had many of those throughout the course of this month so far, but month end is month end, and deadlines are deadlines and they don’t care that I’m at the tail end of a month long project. 🙂
All I did today was bring some dimension back into her face with an Indian Red Pitt Pen. It’s very satisfying to me when doing so little does SO MUCH.

This painting will not be finished on Day 30 so there will be a special finale where I do finish it. The finale will be as long as it needs to be, and because I will have fulfilled my intention to do thirty days of silent painting, the finale itself will not be done in silence!
I’m going to be taking a week off before I finish, though, because it is also YEAR end. *Cries in entrepreneur*
I would normally do a Timelapse of the whole week but I’m going to hold off on that so I can include days 29 and 30.
You’ll have that on MONDAY. 🙂
Meanwhile, we have two more days left, so I’ll see you tomorrow.

P.S. Folks who are in my classes over on Into The Wild (my teaching network) or Patreon are getting video content every day throughout the course of this challenge. Folks who are subscribed to my YouTube channel will be getting video updates weekly or so. There may be stuff going up on TikTok. There will definitely be posts going up on Instagram.
Of course, this spot right here will ALSO serve as my studio diary, so I hope you’ll bookmark the site, and hey! EVEN BETTER! I hope you’ll sign up for the e-list, which I’ll use to let you know when a new post goes live. If you want the project PDF, here you go!
