I just can’t procrastinate any further. Now we have reached the end of the month and I still haven’t posted any updates. I am still finding my voice, the middle ground between being friendly and honest but refrain myself from oversharing. I don’t know I should write in English or Chinese, in written Chinese or Cantonese, should I restart a new page on fb (because for some reasons I have messed up with my inactive fb page), should I actively try to get more people to follow me or should I keep it all to myself, or, or should I just give up.

Alors, this month, I have started doing the Weekly colour prompts after following the free Creative Circle course by Este Macleod. At the beginning of the month I was tempted, oh I was so tempted to do her 3 mini courses for £45, but I really don’t have the time or money, so that was that. With the inspiration of Shelleyaldrichsketches on instagram, I have actually started my own visual journal instead. And these are my attempts so far:

Week one, bubblegum pink & magenta. In the first week of January we had two one-hour settling-in sessions. She was happy to leave me and I went for a walk in the park with Bertie. This is an unusual palette for me.

In the second week the palette is three primary colour and green grey. So I am very much in my element. I mean to draw one more page. But I haven’t had the time to finish it yet.

I am now more than half way through on my week three. Hopefully I will finish it in the next couple of days.

I have never been so motivated to commit to one sketchbook / journal. So this is a good start I hope. I am going to update week 3 once I have finished. And maybe another post about my beloved knitted blanket.

Ta ta for now, thanks for reading.
