Keep Going
I’ve lost count of the days with the 100 Day Project, but wherever I am with it, it’s continuing as a daily practice. This one is a basic Zorn palette that needs more work, but the studio got annoyingly hot today, and it’s only March. I unpacked my new gel plate and it turns out…

Stacked
This was a real puzzle to figure out, and I could probably come back for a few tweaks here and there, but everything is just about where it should be. Playing with quinacridone red and viridian today. Viridian is such an interesting colour. By itself I am not a big fan, but its fun to…

Blue Monday
100 Day Project #23 6×6″ acrylic on canvas I pulled out a tube of manganese blue today. It’s such a beautiful colour, and I haven’t used it for ages. I put it together with quinacridone magenta. I’m amused by the phone pic, which seems to have emphasised the shadow under the arm to make it…

Ghost Layer
Day 22 of 100 mini canvases. I painted today’s mini figure over the rejected board from yesterday, and I really like this one. I also liked the ghost of part of yesterday’s bad sketch, so I chose to leave that in. Til the morn, Suzanne 757/800

Day 21 Mini Canvases
This is a collage of almost all my mini canvases for the 100 Day Project. The one of Andrew Windsor is excluded, because that is fitting. There’s another one that was started today along with two of the bottom row, but the sketch was bad, so it got another layer of background colour. It also…

More Layers
The texture from the layers of clear gesso is interesting, and it gives a good ground for finishing this one up with Conté pencils. I say finishing this one, but I used workable fixative to fix it, and I get extra points for using fixative to fix a drawing on the same day I did…

Legs
This is another mini canvas for the 100 Day project, using up paint from a colour mixing session where I was mixing with cad red and phthalo green plus black and white. Til the morn, Suzanne 753/800

Blue Blue Blue
Day 16 of the 100 Day Project I was playing in my sketchbook with some value and saturation experiments with a limited palette of cad orange and phthalo blue, and black and white. I had some leftover paint, so I put it to good use on another 6×6″ canvas. I’ve painted this one previously, but…

Cheated Myself
When I set up the photo for yesterday’s post I had this niggling feeling that something wasn’t quite right, but couldn’t figure out what. Today I was choosing one of the canvases to do some work on and noticed the two cool purple mini canvases sat on a shelf, and I realised they hadn’t been…

Fourteen Days
It’s International Women’s Day and fuck the patriarchy, which includes the disgusting colonial project currently evaporating women and children in Southwest Asia. It’s also Day 14 of the 100 Day Project, and I have actually managed to paint fourteen canvases, which equates to one per day, but that’s not exactly how it has happened. None…
