Poop

100 Day Project Day 63

I ruined a drawing today. I’m not joking, I might as well have wiped sewage all over it. In fact it kind of looks like I did. I was incredibly frustrated with it, and the way the painting was going, and I have literally shelved it. I am not amused.

On the plus side, I am not so bothered about the drawing, because I did think ‘well, I’m sure I can do a second drawing’, so that might be viewed as progress.

Another on the plus side is that I know all the reasons why I messed it up, so I know how to try again and see how that goes. I suppose that’s progress too.

The painting is so bad I can’t even bring myself to post it, and I’m not averse to posting my shit art. I’m not even sure it’s salvageable for collage lol.

The other thing I am working on is a mixed media altered book spread that is going to include a self-portrait. A snippet from that is my weird little photo of the day.

The process involved journaling and then picking out some words and painting over the rest. I have pixelated the rest, because the writing is still partially visible, and no-one needs to know what it says.

I like the way a piece of writing that is full of darkness can be filtered for a positive spin, that’s a good way to end an otherwise gigantic poop of a painting day.

There’s always more paint,

Til the morn,

Suzanne
