Mini WIPs
The 100 Day Project day 3 I have four mini canvases painted, one finished (yesterday’s Andrew Windsor leaving police custody study) and three WIPs. I am enjoying working with the idea of creating a bunch of WIPs that can be stored up for finishing, this might work well for times when I’m away from the…

Apologies
My apologies, I think I have been too kind. The whole time I was painting this I was asking myself ‘what is the colour for this skin tone? what is the colour of a dying patriarchy?’ 6×6″ canvas board, acrylic 100 Day Project Day 2 Til the morn, Suzanne 737/800

Day 1 Again
I paint every day, and blog about it, and the content belongs to me, not a billionaire tech bro with dodgy politics. The first thing I noticed when I went to my studio today was this overbearing “this is for Instagram it has to be good” thinking. This is not usually something I deal with…

Preparing for a new challenge
I spent some more time with this canvas today, pushing and pulling and sometimes immediately spraying water and wiping paint away. I get to the point that it’s good enough for me, which is all that it’s about really. I’m reminding myself of that as I’m embarking on the 100 Day Project and planning on…

Happy Accidental Success Day

Yummy Texture
Today I had a lot of fun making mixed media collage fodder using my gel plates. There’s lots of texture and I upcycled a bunch of used teabags I had been saving, and I’m really happy with the way most of it turned out. I got a nice surprise as the special paper I ordered…

Attitude Girl and Wonky Horse
Today’s twenty minute timed sketch. I don’t think I have quite caught her *look* but I’ll go again with this one as she has an energy that I want to capture. I was quite busy in the studio today, and had a more successful day than most have been recently. I started out with a…

Mark-making and stamp making
I have not been playing very much recently, and I have missed guddling in my supplies, starting several things at once, jumping from sketchbook to sketchbook, and following my intuition. Those are my favourite kind of days. Of course I often get to the end of the session and think “yes but what will I…

Don’t Draw A Cat
If you’ve set the timer for twenty minutes and there’s a human in the picture, because you’ll forget about the human until there’s four minutes left. I haven’t had a lot of chat recently, since the Supreme Court ruling attacked my trans siblings and their right to exist. Today we have the results of local…

Six Drookit Hares
I revisited this little project today, making a batch of things that are the same but not the same. Til the morn, Suzanne 438/500
