12 weeks - 12 paintings

2 weeks ago I decided to challenge myself (as usual!) to create more before the baby arrive. I know I already made a huge list and goals of things to do before the baby, but I needed an specific project to push myself... because it's fun ;)
My new challenge is to paint a canvas (any size) per week until my due date. Hopefully the baby got the memo and she is going to be happily inside my belly until I finish the project.
I was planning to post about the challenge as soon I star it, but I wanted to be 100% commitment with it before posting. I already made 2 paintings because I start the project on my week 28 :)
Sooo here we go. My new challenge "12 weeks - 12 paintings"

- Week 1:
Tarquien. Watercolor and ink on canvas 8x8

- Week 2:
Billy.  Acrylic and ink on canvas 6x6

Tonight I should decide what I'm going to paint this week ;)

And BTW, believe it or not, I finished to organize the supplies closet! Yeah me :)
Now it's a lot easier to find the art supplies, shipping materials, prints and goodies. And to be honest, only took me a few hours to do it... Why I had to procrastinate so much?

Hello

I really love your art.
I want to ask you a technical question, if you don't mind. I also love drawing with my ink pens on watercolors, but I have a huge problem with it. I draw 2 or three lines and then my pen gets all dry because of the watercolor. And I need to write on a normal piece of paper, in order to get it running again.
So now I start by drawing the ink part and then watercolor it. But the effect is not the same.

So I am wondering if you have the same problem ? Or not ? I would really love some advice.

I have tried all types of ink pens (Faber-Castell mostly).

Thank you so much.

Good for you on the organizing! It's inspiring. I took a day off of work which gives me 3 days to do Just This! I don't have the amount of supplies you have (haven't even shared any drawings online yet o.O), but I still have a mess. Ha. And yes, congrats...
