ART ROUNDUP: APRIL 2024
This post has images! If they do not show up for you, please click through! Happy Temperatures in the Positives, everyone! There's uhhhhh... a lotta blue and brown this month, now that I look at it all together like this. I guess it's a bit of a theme. This is the first year I've tried to do some #PleinAirpril, a monthly challenge where artists do some painting from life every day, which I definitely did not do, but I did some days! I actually really wanted to do it in acrylics at first, but that dream quickly died because first it was too cold to paint outside with my paints, and then it got too busy to take my paints outside, and then I was too busy to take my iPad outside at all and ended up just drawing from photos lol. But I had fun regardless! Even if the subject matter was... less than inspiring for most of this lousy slushy drab garbage spring month. But that's kind of the fun part of the challenge, right? I feel like the folks that live in the mountains or by the ocean or somewhere that looks gorgeous all the time kind of miss out on the exercise of trying to make the mundane beautiful, or at least eye-catching. I also just love breaking down what I see and trying to make sense of it on the page, while still maintaining a sense of personal style and flair. I hope to be…
