It’s not hard for me to commit because I already do a 10 minute project daily, but making it all just one thing…. Boy that’s tricky

Can I work daily but have something to show only every 4 days? I’m thinking of bringing the whole Ten Minute Artist group along for this ride!

PS: I’ve been experimenting with this idea of posting a note then tagging a project / substack, what do you think of that?

Expand full comment

Yeah! A lot of people do collaborative projects!

The answer, with the 100 Day Project, is always, yes.

It doesn't have to be all about 1 specific thing. I'm a 'needs structure and flexibility' person myself. You could set your Daily as something super flexible like "sit at desk and mark paper for 1 minute". The variety of outcomes would be wonderful to see at the end.

But to go back to your actual question — you don't have to document anything at all, if you don't want to. It's the act of doing that's the most important thing 😊

P.S. I like the idea you shared, let me know if you do document here — I'd follow along.

I’m so exited to start!! Right now I’m in the midst of an eight week abstract painting class and a 12 week collage class, so I made my project intentionally simple this year! I can’t wait to get started and to see what everyone else is up to!

I've been interested in making a zine so on day one I'm watching some how-to videos and gathering my materials!

Expand full comment

Awesome! I love zines. They’re addicting :)

Expand full comment

Me too! Would love to hear more about what kind of zine you’re thinking about?:) and oh yes- zine- I’ve been calling my percolating thing a “e-mag”- zine sounds way more inviting!;)

I tried to subscribe to Anna Brones but when I click on subscribe button I get taken to buy a subscription page. I have a paid subscription. A simple intro page would be helpful.

What is the prompt for today?

Expand full comment

Hey April! This is the prompt for today.

Expand full comment

Ok. The most important thing. I’m excited to be a part of this journey for 100 days.

Expand full comment

I’m glad you’re here! To simplify the prompt, you can think of it as 1) do your project today, and 2) jot down a few observations (what happened, how you felt, etc.). The purpose is to practice getting curious about your process 💓

Is there a theme for this first week?

Expand full comment

Getting started!

Expand full comment

I did it! I changed my mind up until the very last minute then just picked an idea and did it. I'm new to drawing (sort of always) because I have never really practiced. Now I get to every day and the entire world gets to see it. Yay?

Hi 16.16 in the UK on a grey windy day.

I just finishes my first piece. A reminder to my self that there will be brighter days.

Interested in doing this for past three years. I am ready to give myself the nudge to another level of sketching. Goal: watercolor people from snapshots. This step is creating the sketching I need as a skill set
