Hey there! In this blog post, I chat about my recent art challenge experience and weigh up the pros and cons of these types of challenges. I've done some smaller art challenges before and boy, did they help me level up my skills. But this latest one was a bit too vague and didn't work out so well - I ended up feeling burnt out. Lesson learned: if you want to see progress, you gotta focus on one specific topic or skill.

I wasn't initially interested in Gelli plate printing, but after feeling the need for something more in my art practice, I decided to simply try it out. I decided to do a 14-day challenge to really focus on Gelli printing and learn more about what I enjoy about it.
