A really good art day today with lots of little experiments, and working on ideas for two paintings that I may or may not paint, but I have the ideas bubbling away, and I am enjoying the explorations.
Above is one of my sketchbook pages, and it’s a loose sketch of an element from an old painting that I want to use for something new. I was just using up the leftover paint from the previous sketchbook page experiment, and when I came back to look a bit later, I really liked it. I also really liked the colours.
I went back to the colours I had used and played in a more structured way with mixing. A lot of things you hear about colour mixing are about how to avoid mud, and while that’s useful, mud can also be interesting, fun and exactly what you need.

Also, I just have to say that I cannot believe it is the last day of August.
Til the morn,
Suzanne
