I planned out some of the reference imagery that can help me with my pieces, planned out the larger piece in watercolour.

This week I’m going to focus mainly on the larger piece but may go to the local art shop to get more smaller canvas’ to do some quicker pieces on similar to the ones I’ve already done.

By next Saturday I want most of the base of the painting done, preferably have gotten to the point of adding in details. I also need to have sewn up the rip in the canvas

This week I booked my air bnb for London so I’m definitely there for the low residency, I want to have enough pieces and enough of an understanding of my practice to know what I want to create when I am there.

‘The Nature of Love’ and ‘Addiction to Perfection’

I feel happy and really pleased with the amount of progress I’ve made since my 1-1 with Jonathan. It’s like somethings been unlocked. I’ve gotten over myself and am actually sharing what I’m doing. I’ve also given my practice structure and it’s a structure I’m not bound to but one I can flow around.

There is a part of me afraid of ‘over doing it’ but I’m keeping an eye on myself and when I feel exhausted I am taking the breaks. I don’t think that I’m going at any wild speed either.

I will keep an eye on whether I am doing too much or not.
