What’s so good about a Collection?

Ahhh, what’s so good about a #collection?
  • You get to explore a topic, or an art supply, with purpose.
  • You create an impressive body of work.
  • You have the opportunity to see your skills improve between artwork 1 and Artwork 8 (or 12 or 20 or 31 or 54 or 100)
  • You can take a photo of your collection and FEEL THE FEELS of a joyous job well done.

 

I started deliberately painting/sketching themed collections last May (remember #5minutemay ?) and haven’t looked back. Last month it was #shaaustralia and right now it’s all about #shabridgerton.
I’ve settled on a goal of 12 pages/artworks/whatever each month (because 31 was an uncomfortable stretch!) and it’s all systems go.
What subjects are you interested in? Is there an art collection project in that? How much time do you have? How many would feel comfortable for you?
Don’t want to think? Well just follow along with me. 😁 All my Demonstration Collections to date are available at https://shinyhappyart.podia.com/
Remember that one sketch or painting is one thing, but boy, a collection FEELS AWESOME.
Just pick up a brush or pencil and let’s go!
