I'd like to think I've shown improvement. In 2010 I said I wanted to try watercolor as a main medium for a while, and I stuck to it =) I also wanted to do more backgrounds, which I did up until the winter where not only am I working full-time but pretty much ever single peice since august save one was commissioned. There is also a significant pattern through this year--almost every single peice I painted was dominated by the color indigo. This wasn't on purpose.
I also spent a lot of this past year studying figure drawing, through books, gesture practice/people observation and also though Dr. Sketchy's which is the closest thing to an art class I have access to right now. If I had included more figures, you could probably see remarkable improvement.
I was surprised I had anything to show for May, which is when we moved house. This year was a strained and busy year. While I expect more of the same for the next 3 months or so, things may change come spring. When we finish the studio I can spend a lot less time on set-up/cleanup--something that will help overcome any inertia.
For 2012 I want to continue including backgrounds with my work with an added challenge--I'd like to focus more on composition and the art of illustration IE--storytelling.
