Welcome to day 1 of Artist Diary, ‘draw one sentence’
Here are some of my recent artist diaries, along with my notes for today’s dispatch.
Artist Diary
“There is a kind of hopefulness to a daily project like this, that I can use time to my advantage, that little simple bits of effort over time, turn into more interesting and complex things”
— Austin Kleon
The first ingredient in a daily practice is setting aside the time.
The next ingredient is the actual practice, now that we’ve carved out some time, what are we going to do with it. Over the next 5 days, I’m going to give you 5 distinct ways you can ground yourself in a 10 minute Artist Diary Practice.
This is to give you a taste of what’s possible at the end of the five days I’m going to ask you to choose your favourite of the 5 practices to become your default ten minute daily practice.
This Gameplam is now available to all paid subscribers of Ten Minute Artist.
I’ve temporarily reduced the annual subscription of the newsletter to $50, but the price will go back up to $100 in on September 1st.
Once you subscribe you will get access to
2 Gameplans:
Start A Daily Drawing Habit (3 projects)
Start Earning True Fans (3 projects)
I will personally guide you through these projects by sending you a quick reminder each day, but you can also take the projects at your own pace whenever you’re ready.
Paid subscribers also get a new Ten Minute Artist project each month, these will add novelty and momentum to your practice and serve as an on ramp if you ever fall off.
So if you want to save $50, start a daily drawing habit and become part of the Ten Minute Artist Community.
If you’re not ready to make the investment, I’ve created a free project called Ten Minute Visual Journal Method, it’s the best thing I could show you and it’s absolutely free for anyone.
