Hi Friends, Elle here.

Last year my friend and fellow artist Heather Timken and I thought it would be a good idea to paint every day for 100 days with an intimate group of artists.

Was this a good idea?

It turned out to be much more than that. It confirmed that group work has a power and magic all its own, emerging art is fragile and needs to be held in a container, and accountability sometimes is all the inspiration you need. But, most importantly, it confirmed in us the desire to do it again this year.

“People have asked me many times to say what, exactly, is the point of [The 100 Day Project]. I’ve always had a fascination with the ways that creative people balance inspiration and discipline in their working lives. It’s easy to be energized when you’re in the grip of a big idea. But what do you do when you don’t have anything to work with? Just stay in bed?”

What is 100 Days of Process?

This is a 14-week live class designed to carry you through The 100 Day Project with daily accountability, creative community, and five immersive Process workshops led by artists Elle Luna and Heather Timken, two makers who believe that art-making can be transformative, mysterious, and wondrous. Even more so when we do it together.

What You Get

Daily Accountability

✓ Live silent co-working sessions, Monday–Friday, 9:00–9:30am PT

Think of this as your daily accountability buddy. Show up, turn on your camera (or don't), and make your art alongside fellow artists. No teaching, no talking—just thirty minutes of focused creative time to start your day.

Weekday sessions begin Monday, February 23, 2026.

✓ Exclusive access to Process

A private digital space where you can share your daily work with the cohort.

Five Saturday Process Sessions (2.5 hours each)

✓ Five deep-dive sessions

This is where the real transformation happens. Our first gathering will be the day before the global project starts, allowing you to kick the tires on your project. All Process sessions* for 2026 are:

  • Saturday, February 21—Day “0”

  • Saturday, March 14—Day 21

  • Saturday, April 11—Day 49

  • Saturday, May 2—Day 70

  • Saturday, May 30—Day 98

    All sessions run 10:00am-12:30pm PT

Community

✓ Be a part of a cohort for The 100 Day Project

Be a part of a likeminded group of artists who show up together.

✓ Post 100-Day Celebration

We’ll gather in the San Francisco Bay Area in June (exact date TBD), where each participant can share their 100-part project.

Participants are responsible for their own travel arrangements, but likely folks traveling from out of town can coordinate and share.

  • The Five Process Sessions: Session 1

    THE FRAME — DAY 0

    Do you already know what the outcome of your project will be?

    What if you didn't? How does not knowing feel? How might we start with exploration? How might we meet the part of us that knows how to perform? What would it feel like to create a long thread for ourselves—one where we could be surprised? What does it feel like to begin something without needing to know where it ends?

  • The Five Process Sessions: Session 2

    FOLLOWING ENERGY — DAY 21

    What are you noticing that you keep ignoring?

    What wants more attention? Where do you feel a quiet pull that you've been dismissing as not-the-plan? What does resistance feel like in your body—and what might it be protecting? How might we follow something just because it feels right?

  • The Five Process Sessions: Session 3

    BOTH SIDES OF JUDGMENT — DAY 49

    What have you decided is bad?

    What would happen if you made that part BIGGER instead of fixing it? What are you protecting because you've decided it's good? How might we let happen what we won't let happen?

  • The Five Process Sessions: Session 4

    STORY & INTERPRETATION — DAY 70

    What story are you telling yourself about your project? Your art?

    What if that story isn't the whole picture? Where might you want to move—not what do you want to do, but where? If this moment in your project were a color, what would it be? What would it mean to read between the lines of your own work? What loses energy once you've explained it?

  • The Five Process Sessions: Session 5

    GOING DEEPER — DAY 98

    What haven't you done yet?

    What did you think of doing but talk yourself out of? What are you afraid to touch? What would it mean to inhabit the thing you've been avoiding—not just acknowledge it, but go into it? What part of you is still hungry? What would you risk if you weren't worried about ruining it?

What's the difference between this class and The 100 Day Project?

The 100 Day Project is a free, global creative challenge that anyone can join. You pick a project, do it every day for 100 days, and share your process on Instagram with #The100DayProject.

100 Days of Process is a paid live class that runs alongside The 100 Day Project. It gives you daily accountability, a private community, and five guided Process workshops to deepen your experience.

How many hours will I make art if I come to every session?

About 50 hours across 14 weeks.

  • Five Process workshops = 12.5 hours of deep-dive work

  • Daily weekday sessions (30 min each) = up to 37.5 hours!

What tools do I need?

You are fine to work with what you already have! If you want recommendations, please email us.

What if I miss a Saturday?

The Saturday Process workshops are live experiences and will not be recorded. If you miss one, join us the next Saturday. The daily weekday sessions are also not recorded—they're simply a shared container for your practice.

it takes patience and intuition…
it is full of surprise and discovery and
cannot be known ahead of time.”
