I will do my first 100day project this year. I always have more ideas than action, so my focus will be to do something creative every day, to try , to explore and feel what gives me energy and joy. My goal is to have a better idea what is my thing by the end of the 100 days.
I have a question? I want to start painting large paintings again. Can the 100 Day Project be committing to paint for x amount of time per day for 100 days? Or does it have to be something that is small and can be finished in one session for 100 days? Thank you!
I love this project because it gives you so many liberties to chop it up the way you need it to. You can choose to work 15 minutes a day on a large piece. Totally your call! I am excited to see what you decide.
Thank you so much Angie for your uplifting comment! I committed to painting 30 minutes a day and started yesterday. So grateful for this challenge which allows us to reconnect to our creativity.
This is my second 100 day project this year. Last year I decided to commit to anything art for 15 mins a day. I did it. Surprise ! Surprise ! I have just bought four 8x8 watercolor books. Each will be designated a different medium. Watercolor botanical , collage , acrylic abstract, pen and ink / markers. Once again 15 mins a day minimum.
Goal is to have fun and have some creative challenges and adventures.
BTW. I got really nice WC books at the Five and Under dollar store. Pressure free. to play and experiment. 😊
I just tried to make a post post but was blocked and told I had to pay for the newsletter. I subscribed last year and now I am told I have to subscribe again again and pay for it--again. I thought the program was free? But anyway I subscribed last year...??
Progress! My post re subscription was accepted... I'm working up my nerve to do it for the first time. My problem is that I have too many ideas. I believe I can get around this by using ALL of them, one at a time, embroidering around the theme of "Finding my Focus." I'm now making a list of various ideas to draw from and my only rule is that I will do something every day and keep track in a notebook and with photos. However I have a question: how do I post if/when I want to post? I do not want to post daily on my IG feed as I think it would make for a clutter. Is there something like a Facebook group dedicated to the project?
Hey! You don’t have to pay to participate. You should be able to comment on public posts, but it’s possible I forgot to click that button before hitting publish.
You can post on IG at whatever cadence you’d like — a weekly post, for example. You can share as Stories instead and save as a highlight, that’s a good option too.
I am definitely going to do the 109 day project. This year I want to explore new materials, techniques, mediums and tools, so I will try out one each day and may try the same several days on multi-media paper to make in to a self-made art journal.
LOL, I was excited to see what happens in the extra 9 days...
Your project sounds great! Our materials are so much more useful if we know whether we like how they work. I think I will be testing fountain pen inks, for the same reason - some I will love, some I can maybe pass along to friends. Getting to know them will suggest ideas for further projects.
100 days feels like a big commitment when you're standing at the threshold of Day One.
I'm using the Project to explore my painting style again after nearly 15 years away from the canvas. Plus I am going to create a colour palette for my design business and membership every day.
There! I have said it and put it out into the world - now to make it happen.
My first time doing the 100 Days Project. I’m excited and a little nervous. I’m just going to focus on enjoying the process. Not very clear if we post and how we post here in Substak? I’m new to it 🥹
Yep I am all in for the100 day project this year. I am still deciding which of 2 ideas I have but one will come about for sure.
Congratulations on making the decision! I am balancing decluttering and mixed media art!
It will be a slow draw a Day about 3”x4” drawing from the Amy Miracle group on Patron.

When does it start? Can’t find the info on Substack
February 18th
Thanks! I had to log-in again to see comments. Not sure I understand Substack well, yet.

I hope the challenge is going well for you. It’s really fun… I’m enjoying carving out this special time daily.
Yes!! I'm really looking forward to being in community with other creatives during this magical time of year.
Same here!!
I'm in and I'm psyched for the motivation and inspiration!

There is a FB group! Linked to it in the last post: https://the100dayproject.substack.com/p/the100dayproject-starts-in-5-days
Thanks!
I will be doing a slow draw each day. Small slow patters.
Perfect timing for me. Just back from creative traveling and this will get me to focus on what inspired me
Back for a second year. Looking forward to new connections and creative growth. In 100 days, I hope to say, “Yes!”
I’m excited about the 100 day project

Make that the 100 day project. I’m so enthusiastic about this project that I got a not overly ambitious.
