1 Year Daily Drawing & Painting Plans

The most difficult part of drawing or painting for that matter, is getting started

Needless to say that practice makes perfect. Yet so few adhere to this simple method of improving drawing and painting skills. If you desire greater discipline and focus, don’t opt for an elephantine day once or twice a week, only to be discouraged that you over and again fall short as excuses seem to persist.


​I found that the method of doing a little every day counts much for higher proficiency and to become a mile stone for gaining good drawing habits.
"Every person, every single one of you will improve with practice!"

Drawing Challenge

Watercolour Challenge

Our 1 year daily watercolour challenge.
Now I want you to be clear that this challenge isn’t to produce perfect drawings right away, but drawings or paintings! The goal is to allow your sketches to be incomplete, while you habitually and increasingly improve your sketching skills.

Ten minutes every day is far easier to maintain than many hours per week. The aim is to begin with 10 minutes, but finding yourself occasionally to extend your time because you enjoy yourself. However, your daily target of only 10 minutes remains. Practice becomes almost like a talent code. Everyone who has done it, even when missing some days, will reveal a love story, becoming infatuated with drawing or painting. It appears to offer a solution to your former problem of excuse, namely lack of time.

Let's Go!

"A word of advice. If your brain tells you at any point that you are not improving, toss it. It is lying!" 

I vividly remember that made significant progress once I joined art classes many moons ago, but after approximately two years, I reached a plateau. Firmly convinced that I had reached my greatest potential, I was about to give up. I wasn’t aware then of the varied ways we learn.

In the first two years of art school, everything was an exciting “Aha” moment and a clear grasp of how to draw and paint. Most classes were a light bulb that went on. The problem is the left side of the brain. It picks up knowledge that has clear content. But it can’t detect learning that is osmotic. For a year I felt stuck, but continued for about another year and threw all my artwork into a drawer, never looking back. When I doubted my abilities and was about to quit, I retrieved all my earlier works and was speechless when I saw the drawings I had done one year ago. They were terrible compared to what I was now producing. I had continually improved in all that time! But as my left side of the brain couldn’t perceive any validated improvements, so I believed there weren’t any.
So excited to see you all dare to improve this year.
