Ideas

Sometimes, well, most of the time I find myself stumped for ideas of things to make/draw/paint etc. So I decided to make an idea box.
I took plain white paper and wrote a bunch of things I like or am interested in and also just random things on them. I put them in a little container and every day if I don't already have something I want to do I draw from the container. Every night I write at least 2 things to add to the container so that it is always growing.
I write things like "still life" multiple times because I can set up still life things as many times as I want. I also have ideas written for different series of paintings/drawings so I only wrote them once and plan to just return them to the bin. I wrote multiple still life's because it is something I need more practice with.
I hope this will help me become more disciplined in actually practicing every day instead of doing things I am already good with, since I am pretty much forcing myself to experiment with doing different things.
