How my day went, phew!!! Like every other day in Ogun state, south west Nigeria; hot, no power(electricity)😢, quiet, low battery 🔋. It was really frustrating 😣, but as an artist, I always have my way out of such limitation, then I went through my iPad searching for an inspirational photo as reference to a new painting. After finding the right picture which was taken by me last year, 😂 the inspiration to start an outline wasn’t coming through, I stared at the photo for hours, went to bed to lay down( in the process I thought of how lazy I am as an artist) then I got up to start something, I brought out my pan on pencil set, gridded my paper as I thought free handing would take much time as I’d wasted lot of time deliberating and procrastinating , now to begin the actual outline of the reference took another time of unnecessary procrastination and napping. My iPad which was the only device that had power was draining due to my time wasting. So, I chinned up finished the outline, took out my brushes, selected the crucial ones for the painting. I took out my set of water colour paints, had the already hard paints lying in their pans pre wet to create moist and to make it easy to pick up with my cotman water colour brushes, so I succeeded in just creating the first layer of the painting. 😂 today wasn’t a waste after all.
