I love these mini abstracts…fun, colorful, quick and relaxing to paint. And wow it all looks so cool, both as individual blocks of art or altogether as one piece. Great idea, thanks so much for sharing 🙂!

Honestly Tammy, you’ve saved my life! I’ve been in a creative slump for YEARS now. I decided to participate in icad2024 and now I’m having fun playing with my art supplies for hours every day now! I think it’s because I’m using inexpensive, non-precious art supplies, and just playing. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😁
@DaisyYellowArt2 ай бұрын
Thank you Barbara 💚 I think the un-precious nature of the surface and the idea of play for the sake of play (whatever the end result) makes a difference. You're always so supportive and I'm happy that the challenge helped you get back into your art!!!

Yes, for sure! We are posting at instagram, you can find a quick summary of how it works here: daisyyellowart.com/vividlife/icad-welcome (look for the TL;DR) and then follow the account dedicated to the challenge & index card art: @indexcardaday (previously I put all of the ICAD stuff under my account). You can see what's been posted under #dyicad2024 or in the tagged section on that account. And yes you're welcome to start any time!

These are fabulous - love your use of color. And talk about tiny - were there 28 tiny squares on some of those pages? Wow. Which means you are making tiny marks - I'm not sure I can even think that small...

Thea, I was curious so I looked back and found some had like 40 -- it may be counterintuitive but the more I work in small format the more spacious the tiny squares feel. Thank you for your sweet comment!

Some prompts are challenging for me but I decide with each day to go with the challenge or morph it into something else more exciting to me. This way of practicing ideas using the elements of art is so much fun and takes me away from gettin ho-hum in my regular art practice opening up all kinds of creative possibilities.

Hi Barbara! For this page I decided to just go for it, not wait for anything dry, but if I wanted a layer to be more crisp (i.e. not pull into paint underneath) I needed to work on areas that were more dry. I was thinking that next time I will take maybe 15 minute breaks throughout the process. Hope that helps! tg
