Artistic goals for 2021

[Nelson H Burgoyne old account .]

What are your artistic goals for the new year?

I made a new indoor studio, and have been working on two 36×48” paintings. I guess my resolution is to spend more time in the studio. I normally paint plein air, and never really enjoyed painting in the studio.
the main resolution that I keeps from last year was to have more fun and not be so critical of my own work. Maybe I’ve been painting long enough to where I can just say to heck with it haha.

what is yours? Happy new year!

My resolution is to start painting again after a very lean year.

I may or may not start charging for commissions. I may or may not audit an art class at a local college. I do plan to finish a painting of my youngest grandnephew.  I may or may not do a large watercolor with funky borders between point of interest and background for entering in an exhibit. I do plan to join my sister in painting on Saturday mornings. I hope to start teaching art again. I hope to have painting parties again after Covid or outside in the spring. I plan to continue sketching during dialysis.

I did very little last year so I need to get my sense of creativity back. Sadly I’ve lost my painting space as I have to work from home and needed to set up a home office, so I’ll be doing a lot of sketching fom life instead (never a bad thing). I started a botanical sketchbook a while ago that I want to continue with. I have a picture I spent over 20 hours on at the start of the year and haven’t touched since March, and I really need to get it finished.

I’m the exact opposite! I so envy those who can sit down, enjoy a scene, and then go home with a nice oil painting. Mine are always so awful it may take days of studio work to make them passable; or decide to trash.

But our little group has a plein air day scheduled; for whenever the COVID restrictions allow it.

I like and use so many mediums that I never know which one is going to take me where so i dont’ know what to work on though I could use work in many areas.

I do think once things are clear with covid (i’m in a hot zone right now and I’m highrisk) I’ll see about getting more involved locally with the arts.

I want to get back to writing in my blog too. Even if no one reads it, I enjoy doing it and I think I need to for my own sanity.

I’ve going to take five video courses on drawing. 

While I’m doing this my plan is to take a break from big projects, but I’ll come back to doing what I’ve been doing after these courses are done.  Hopefully my bigger projects will be much improved. 

Learning to see all the colours in nature, and enjoying every moment of it!

Use up old art supplies.

That’s a good one BeLing, I need to do that as well.

I’ve given myself a printmaking challenge to do a print a week for a year.  The plan is to play with all the printmaking processes.

I am in the process of getting my own studio. It’s only been 30 years of waiting to have a dedicated painting space!

There are still many steps to go before this is achieved- but the shed is built in the back yard for my husband to move his motorbikes into so that I can set up in the double garage that is part of the house. I plan to paint it all white and am now pricing some flooring options. I am going for “fun art-gallery/teaching space” vibe.

I’m the same way regarding blogging. If someone looks or comments, good if not that’s alright too. I still share there or Twitter. Doesn’t matter.  Still good.

The printmaking sounds interesting, our printing forum is pretty quiet but I would love to see you post that there.
I need to do more printmaking myself. I have a bunch of ink that needs using.

Bethany that’s wonderful! Congratulations!

Its funny since I wrote that, I’ve actually had quite a few views and by that I mean like 6 lol.
I updated it today bc my dog that passed away was of course the titular purple dog.

I have patterns I made too for little woolly animals that I want to put on there too.
