Last January I joined on online community of artists with the commitment to paint a picture a day throughout the month of January. This was the idea of American artist Leslie Seata. We posted our paintings each day to her blog which then linked back to our own. The main advantages were that, because it was a public commitment, it was more of an incentive to paint, it increased traffic to your site, you were introduced to loads of very good artists and above all, I saw an improvement in my work. I decided that for the month of January, I would paint a landscape each day, plein air, yes, I know, I was mad as it was very cold this year but I did it, I painted out every day. Why am I posting this now? She's at it again and I have signed up.
