Through Repetition...

Hey Creative Peep!

​

I recently had this interaction with one of my students who is getting VERY close to completely her 100 Days of Imperfect Practice...

Tammy said this to me

Yes! Your '100 Days of Imperfect Practice' teaching replaced my fear with confidence to finally give this challenge a go. Thanks Wendy.

I loved this phrase so much...

Replace Fear with Confidence.

I just HAD to share it with all of you. It's 100% true.

Consistency breed confidence!

​

This is exactly what happens when you choose to consistently show up to your creative practice with the intention to get better at one particular thing.

When you make a decision to show up on a consistent basis in your practice, you WILL get better.

This is because of the rule of 100 hours...

The "rule of 100 hours" is a concept that suggests you can become proficient in a skill or subject by dedicating roughly 100 hours of focused practice to it over a year, which translates to around 18 minutes of practice per day, essentially placing you above the majority of people who don't consistently practice that skill at all; it emphasizes the power of small, consistent effort to achieve noticeable progress.

I know so many artists who give up after the 3rd or 4th try!

When you make the decision to be consistent AND you focus on micro skills, you WILL get better at that skill.

​

​100 Days of Imperfect Practice is the perfect place to start if you need the support. (It's free by the way.)

Want to know what I will be working on in my informal practice this year?

I actually have been considering working on form and value right now. (See photo above for my very first piece.)

Last year, I was focused on shape.

I recommend focusing on one or two of the 7 elements of art for this practice: line, shape, color, form, value, texture or space.

Let me know what your focus is on this year!

​

Happy Painting!
