This was my 7th year doing Dry January, a month that I take off from drinking alcohol after the fun and celebrations of the holidays. I enjoy taking this month off and to use the turn of the new year as a time to slow down, reflect, and then shift my focus towards the future.

Part of my January goals included intentionally drawing for myself, pushing myself out of my comfort zone, and painting subjects I don’t typically paint. So to start my year off strong, I made a list of 15 drawing prompts very, very loosely inspired by the theme of Dry January. The only expectations I made for myself for this month of Dry January prompts was:
1) Paint 1 prompt roughly every 2 days
2) Stick mainly to watercolor
3) Keep things simple
4) Make sure you enjoy yourself
