Graphite, 9x9” Aquabee Deluxe sketchbook
This is definitely going to be a full watercolor painting later in the year.
The 100 Paintings In a Year Challenge is intended for artists that are dedicated to the growth and development of their style as well as their artistic voice. The challenge also provides a means for overcoming areas in need of improvement.
The paintings should be a mix of small, medium and large pieces, some sketches, plein aire, and studio work; work from life as well as from photos. The variety is meant to push the artist out of any rut, to provide ample opportunity to create no matter what other time obligations are going on, and to challenge the artist if they do not create in one of these categories. The work can be done in any medium, but it is strongly advised that the artist consider choosing one medium in which to do the Challenge as this will help facilitate faster growth than trying to master multiple mediums.
DO NOT JUDGE the artwork! When a piece is complete, set it aside and move to the next piece of work. Learning to suspend judgement of our work is a major step forward in the development our skills.
Once committed, the expectation is that the artist will fully participate in the blog by posting on a regular basis as well as leaving encouraging comments of others' artwork through comments.
The challenge may be started at any time.

Great! Wonderful values. I look forward to seeing the painting.
...wow.....lots of work must have gone into this one! It's really fun....
I like the cropped view. Wonderful pencil work and tones. I sometimes love pencil work more than color.
Nice values in this, Krista! I look forward to the watercolor.
Krista, this is fantastic! I love the shadows. Can't wait to see the finished painting~~
Such a beautiful car this one! I am just wondering how much time one has to spend just to make the spokes on the wheel look so beautiful :) it's mind-blowing!
Absolutely AWESOME with the details. You have lots of patience to stick with this. I love the finished result.
