100 Day Project 2019 - Week 1

April 6, 2019

So the 100 day project is off to a great start! To follow check out #the100dayproject on Instagram - the creative projects are amazing! And it’s anything and everything. My tag is “@KathrynJNeale” if you want to follow me.

My first strategy for the 100 day is always collage. Collage is my favorite “go-to” method for jump-starting any creative project just to get the creative juices flowing. Mainly because it’s fast. I already have a pile of cut-out pieces and different paper etc. from other previous projects that I’ve held onto for years. If you have magazine cutouts, photographs, pretty paper that you’ve kept, this is fabulous for quick collage work.

Originally, I wanted to actually study more sacred geometrical forms and then add them into my artwork for this project. But life is happening (I already missed 3 days of work last week due to oldest being sick then youngest being sick, so we all just have to roll with the punches right?). I hope to start to eventually incorporate those images into my work but for now, I just wanted. to start. Beginning any project is the hardest part.

So I grabbed my compass thing (forgot what it’s called) and wanted to just start working with the simplest form, a circle. So here are the first 5 days working slowly with the concept of a circle and then collaging some elements into it. I’ve used cut paper, pastel, acrylic paint, chalk paint, and ink and pencil. The newest element that I’ve wanted to start experimenting with is gold and copper paint. So I’m beginning to experiment with these elements.

All artwork will be available in my shop for purchase. Email me if you are interested in a work that I haven’t put into my store yet - katy@kathrynneale.com).

Stay tuned for more coming this week!
