MINI-PORTRAIT CHALLENGE

The 100 Days Project

If you're on social media, you've probably heard of the #100dayproject! The idea is to be creative every day for 100 days. But knowing myself, that's a bit too much for me, so I'm going to try to make 100 mini-portraits in however many days it takes! You can make 100 mini-portraits or more, or less, in any medium : acrylics, oils, (water-based) cold wax, water colours, crayons, collage, pens, anything! It's your project, so you decide how you want to do it!

I've set some prompts for us, but also some 'rules' because it's hard enough to keep up!

• I'm not going to film or post every mini-portrait I make. It's okay if I don’t share every day.

• The portraits don’t have to be perfect, just a fun way of playing and experimenting.

• I don’t have to complete the 100 days in 100 days; it might take a year or even longer to finish the mini-portraits, or I might never finish! There's no pressure whatsoever.

• I can make more than one portrait a day and then nothing for the following days.

• I'll set a maximum time of 30 minutes per portrait, but I'll aim for less.

• I can use any medium or painting technique that I choose

I have added some inspirational videos to help you get started::

• Contour Drawing without looking at your paper

• Drawing with two hands

• Monochrome mini-portraits

• Textured mini-portraits

It would be such fun if we can do this together!💙
