In this video, I talk about my experience, feelings, and thoughts of doing The 100 Day Project in 2023. My goal was to complete 100 paintings in my sketchbook, and I used a combination of Gouache, coloured pencils, and Posca pens to complete each piece. I got a lot of questions from followers along the way, so I thought this video might be useful for those who were wondering what tools and equipment I used.
I'd love to know which day was your favourite, so please let me know in the comments. And of course, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
