The timed sketch to start the day happened again. Since I had prepped some paper for a mini paintings exercise, I decided to use the first reference as my reference for the drawing. I gave myself twenty minutes.
The painting is on 12×16″ watercolour paper that has been prepped for oil painting, and divided into four. I set my timer for forty minutes in which to complete the mini oil portrait, and when the timer went off I only had the background to fill in.
This was a really fun exercise, and I think I’m going to make timed exercises my 100 Day Thing, although I am not sure what subject I my choose. Something other than portraits, I think.
Colours: titanium white, yellow ochre, cad red, cerulean blue, ivory black, transparent red oxide
Til the morn,
