April is my hardest month to date. I struggled to come up with subject ideas to paint, but this has led me to explore my surroundings and draw from life more, such as my daffodil, fern leaf, passion fruit, and flat leaf parsley pieces, so it is not all bad. Although I didn't do as much oil paintings as before, I really enjoyed doing watercolour paintings and line drawings, which I like to think that I have improved!

My thoughts on being creative every day in April:

  • I really love painting/ drawing botanical from life and I want to continue doing this by finding interesting plants outside and growing stuff in my new garden.
  • I want to get back at planning my subject ideas in advance again so instead of wasting time in the mornings to think about what to paint, I would be able to start painting sooner than later.
  • I skipped one day but I painted more to make up for it as well as for two missed days in March.
