STUDIO BLOG - Powering up 700 HIVE and Art update for the day
Published on HivePostify by @blingit · Tue Sep 01 2026
TODAY in the studio and my KE score is 0.68
So today is a little different.... im not really posting a super big art update... though i have in fact done some painting and some digital art as well.... AND done a colouring page draft...
I decided seeing it was the 1st of the month to do a power up and SEVEN HUNDRED HIVE was the amount that i had. so that is what i did.
Its bumped my vote up a little which is great. Obviously its not as much as it USED to be.. however hopefully Hive can make some more progress upwards and it will go back to being worth a little. Anyway...
Currently i am just STACKING HIVE. Even though the DOLLAR value of it is little and the POST is only getting a couple of dollars value the HIVE value is still a few in there. Im trying to look at it that way.
Ive never taken Hive out... so my KE score is sitting pretty pretty at 0.68. yup... i;ll brag on that one...
Todays Art update.
So i tried a slightly different method last night with a painting.. and didn't like it. normally i do a tonal layer under... which was fine.. and then i do a whole blank sky without clouds and decorations and THEN do the clouds and things over top. I didn't this time, I have a wonderful artist who posts videos of his workflow where he paints around and it looked interesting. I tried it and hated it... lol i ended up with a patchy mess. I should push through the pain point... however i stopped. It looks dreadful (to be fair ALL PAINTINGS go through a stage where they look dreadful)
however... yeah... i was not feeling it last night.
> below you can see the cherries i sketched in procreate and the start of the quick daily painting that i hate... lol
. Perhaps i need to put in a tad more effort. I was tired. it was late and the evening lights in the studio were not doing it for me.
i mean this was only about 10 mins work... It was just not going the way i wanted.
Anyway i then decided to do a second copy of the lolly pop painting...
Quick and easy...
Art business update So still musing about what i want to do. dithering. its annoying. i need to find a spot and create. and im not. its annoying. I have so much i want to do i spend my time running between projects not getting anything done to the standard i want.
However i did get another colouring page done. so that is good. anyway.
apologies for the effort lacking post Not the most coherent update i have done... however i think 700 HIVE power up counts for the lack of brain space put into this post. If you disagree... well Raspberries to you!
HERE ARE SOME OF MY RECENT DAILY PAINTINGS
LOVE AND LIGHT HAPPY PAINTING
