100 Day Project Day 4
I am still wildly procrastinating over finishing an oil painting I am working on. It really only needs one more pass, but my flow was interrupted, and now it has this invisible and currently impenetrable shield around it.
It’s productive procrastination, tho, as I have been doing a bit of reorganising of art supplies, as well as working on posting for the 100 Day Project. It’s very weird posting every day, and I am noticing the things that is bringing up.
Yesterday felt very unhinged and chaotic, and like I was threatening to hit a roadblock, but I posted anyway, and nothing fell apart. Well, nothing I am accountable for, anyway. Today was much more fun, and I didn’t feel like the self-created pressure to post was restrictive.
Instead of working on my oil painting, because, you know… I pulled out one of my numerous 6×8 watercolour blocks. I love these, and I have a pile of them so I will always have some that have a blank page on top. I first bought some with the idea of doing 100 mini paintings. I never really blogged much about that, but I do have a stack of mini paintings that are in a display books as a sort of sketchbook portfolio.
The first pad I pulled out already had a face on it that was just a fast face using a Stabilo All and water, then sealed with workable fixative. The face was created intuitively, and there was no reference photo. I got stuck into painting with some acrylics in raw umber, cerulean blue and titanium white, and I’m really enjoying the colours together.
Until tomorrow,
Suzanne
