I did not like what was happening with my little oil painting today. I carried on with the canvas from yesterday, and got absolutely scunnert wi the thing. I put it up on a shelf and moved onto other things, but kept thinking about what it was that was bugging me.
I think it’s the colour palette.
When I set up the palette, for some reason I randomly chose a red and a yellow that I haven’t been working with recently, and I don’t like the colours.
The fun part is that I wasn’t thinking the problem was as simple as that, I was letting my old friend the critic tell me I just don’t know how to paint. Uh huh.
Tomorrow I’ll go again with a different palette and see if I come up with something I like.
The share for today is what I did in my A3 sketchbook, to remind myself I can paint things I like.
RIP to artist David Hockney.
Til the morn,
Suzanne
