Do you set goals? If so, how do you hold yourself

Do you set goals? If so, how do you hold yourself to account? I met up with a friend recently and we decided to set 3 goals with a deadline and then report back to one another. I suppose it's like having a pal you go to the gym/running with. We're both hoping this will keep us motivated to take action and stop the anxious thoughts and imposter syndrome! I used the SMART guidelines to make mine and making specific goals took a bit of time to think about and reflect on but I got there in the end. ☺️

Throw away your pencils! Not really...they have their place, right? But I'm really enjoying the freedom and pressure free way of ink sketching, as taught by @thepigeonletters in this book and the accompanying workshops. It's my first time sketching buildings and architecture (since school) and it is so enjoyable. I'm really ready to start adding some watercolor to these sketches now!

Yesterday I caught up with @thepigeonletters online workshop on mindful sketching, to accompany the recently released book. Today I did my homework and applied the principles to a sketch of the Taj Mahal. It also gave me an excuse to look through this lovely old book on Islamic Art. I would like some more books on Islamic art and architecture. Anyone have any recommendations?

I'm on holiday this week, at the beach, exploring the beautiful Welsh coastline. I might have packed too many art supplies again, despite having good intentions to pack more carefully. I did get my watercolours out though and painted last night. It was an hour that went by in a few minutes, I enjoyed it so much and was so focused. I do have a blog post on packing art supplies for a trip (I definitely should have the read it before I packed!). Link in bio to my blog. Happy Friday!!

I'm going back to the beginning again with watercolor and a brilliant class from @marienoellewurm and @skillshare I'm getting my hands dirty and making a mess painting watercolor washes. It's a lot of fun!
