I am currently engaged in a daily drawing project with a friend and fellow practitioner which began on 1 December 2025. This involves drawing on a daily basis and sending each other images - and encouraging feedback - every few days. We plan to do this for a whole year, having done something similar in 2018. While it is early days for this long term commitment, I am certainly finding the discipline very useful in focusing my time and energy on making art.
Drawing directly with torn and cut paper is a new activity for me and the resulting collage ‘sketches’ are often clumsy but sometimes they can capture the mood and feel of the day or place which I find harder to achieve with pencils. I’m really looking forward to warmer weather when more of the drawing can be done outside from direct observation.
