Silence and Sounds
Today’s 100 Day Project 6×6″ acrylic on canvas. I am happy to report that the stench and pollution from the recycling site fire, which I believe is still smoking, has not been reaching us today, so I am headache free with normal eyes. This meant I could do the project I had been wanting to…

Colour Joy
Today’s share is from today’s 100 Day Project. I started out with a ground using Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold, which is a Golden paint that was discontinued a wee while back, leaving many folk scrambling to get hold of some before all the stock went. I have a wee stash, but what’s the point of…

Sensory Overload
Today has been a LOT. I am struggling with the smell and my allergies are going mad with the stench still blanketing us from the rubbish facility that is miles away. I feel so bad for the people living close to the place because if it’s affecting me this much, they must be in absolute…

Disrupted Day
I had visitors today, and we are still experiencing the stench of the ongoing fire at a plastic recycling facility some twelve miles away. It’s very unpleasant, and there’s not much we can do but hope for a big storm to clear the air. I painted a couple of wee canvases, and I am thinking…

Smudging
Today’s share is a 100 Day Project 6×6″ canvas with a couple of layers of charcoal and clear gesso. I am trying, on this tiny scale, to build layers of charcoal marks for the figure drawing. I might still paint, or I might use soft pastels, or pan pastels. This week’s colour obsession is raw…

Sketchbook to Canvas
Yesterday’s sketchbook experiment inspired today’s 110 Day Project mini canvas. The ground on the canvas was leaning cooler than the sketchbook page, and I think I like the warmer version more. That can be altered. For some reason my phone camera has gone wild with the pink in this photo, and usually fluorescent or fluorescent…

Two Sizes and Ratios
The difference between large and small. It’s much easier to fit the figure on the page, and that challenge is part of the fascination of doing these tiny boards. They take a bit longer to get right. This one isn’t right, yet, it will come. It’s funny the way the warm-up sketch sometimes is the…

Surprise
Today’s 6×6″ canvas for the 100 Day Project and the brush I used. Til the morn, Suzanne 799/800

Go Again
A fun thing about acrylic paint is that it has two drying points. Initially it becomes touch dry quite quickly, and then around two weeks later it is cured, fully dry. There’s a nice window around the touch dry stage where you can kind of reactivate it with water. This is handy if the figure…

Fun and Finishing
Fun with grunge on the gel plates today, because I don’t already have enough collage fodder 😀 For the 100 Day Project I worked on this canvas, which only had a basic sketch on it previously. I was using leftover paint from yesterday’s double canvas session, and having a bit of fun with value versus…
