I’m taking my annual review very seriously this

I’m taking my annual review very seriously this year.
(But still fun, with some stickers, of course.)
I compiled a list of questions and prompts to guide my morning journalling.
This week, I’m reflecting on 2024.
Some questions appeared a little duh and repetitive.
But committing to write my way through them brought greater clarity. I uncovered new things that are shaping my intention for 2025.
Next week, I’m planning ahead for 2025.
Are you doing any annual review / planning? ♥️
P/S I’ve been recommended, and I now recommend, the Unravel Your Year workbook by @susannahconway. Super helpful if you need a little guidance!

I’ve always preferred cool muted colours for calligraphy.
(Except gold, cos who can resist shiny gold?)
But here I am now — using & loving yellow and vermilion for practice.
I guess it’s a natural progression over the past few months.
I don’t remember when or how it started, but yellows have slowly taken over my space.
Not primary yellow or pastel yellow.
But rather specifically — bright yellow with a tint of orange, yellow ochre, or mustard.
I now have yellow cutlery, coasters, pouches, markers, washi tapes, inks, paints. I’m in the midst of crocheting a mustard yellow bag.
It’s gotten to the point where I’m contemplating painting a bedroom wall yellow.
My tastes (and life) have taken a rather unexpected turn in 2024. 💛🧡
PS These are Pentel poster paints in permanent yellow deep and vermillion, then mixed with white and @thecreativekinds Lucy in the Sky. Also thanks to @byratnasaraswati for inspiration on how to mix Lucy in the Sky. I’ll definitely be using my pan a lot more! ♥️
PPS Quote is from Haruki Murakami: “And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

Fun surprises because I didn't flush my fountain pen 😜
This lovely muted coral / salmon colour is a mix of @ferriswheelpress Hearty Harvest and Malibu Beach.

It’s been some time.
Very out of practice with this kind of offhand flourishing.
I was thinking a lot more than I should, and would have.
But an apt word to restart practice? 😬

Why I downsized my watercolour palette. 🎨 Last

Why I downsized my watercolour palette. 🎨
Last year, I bought some new colours so I was outgrowing my 20 slot palette.
I got a 35 slot palette, thinking I would enjoy playing with more colours.
Wrong.
The myriad of colours actually made me even more cautious. I was spending more time choosing what colour to use.
I was mixing paints less frequently, since I had so many to choose from. Ironically, this made me feel even more limited in my colour choices. (Does this even make sense?)
So I downsized to a 12 slot palette, making sure to only include colours that I’m used to mixing.
I’ve set up this palette for 1 week; I think I’ve painted more than I have in the past year.
It was like I reactivated some long forgotten memory of colour theory. Of mixing paints.
Of playing!
This is another example of something I’ve realised the past year:
Setting more rules can actually boost, not hamper, creativity.
