Weeknotes Feb 1-7 2026

Seven days, seven Weeknotes. Yay! I like this practice - it’s bringing me into my life (and less in my head). What is one thing each day to remember and express. One thing each day to draw.

I’m experimenting with how I want to do this new Weeknotes practice. I’m finding the process of capturing one thing each day in a few sentences super easy. Wake up, fire up Notion on my iPad, think about the day before and pick one thing to say something about. Easy. The next step is to capture one thing about that one thing visually - but how?

I can draw or paint or collage and also compose them collectively in any way. And I’m not sure yet which way I want to do this.SO. I’m experimenting to find what I like best.

Last week I painted on small papers and then arranged them as a spread in my sketchbook and collaged in typed text. This week I started on the left side of a blank spread and moved my way to the right, day by day. Drawing/painting/writing directly on the page.

I’m not sure either of these ways is how I want to go. Both weeks I painted with gouache, mostly. I like gouache a lot, but it is time consuming and I’m finding that I don’t know how to use gouache as much as I thought - again, good practice. I’m not loving how they are arranged on the page. Maybe I’d prefer something more linear. I also don’t like my handwritten text here.

I’ll try something different this week.
