Twenty Minute Paint Dash
There was a lot going on today, and I only managed a twenty minute window for painting. I hate this pose, which means I will be going back to it again until I find what it is I am looking for. The first thing I will be looking for is another hand under that chin,…

Saturday Extremities
Lots of things were done with paint today, but all of them are in that stage where they don’t really look like much, but I did have a go at this pose which is a bit fun. Til the morn, Suzanne 553/600

All Fingers And Pose
Cobalt blue and caput mortuum make a satisfying mix for this luscious pose in my continued season of hands studies. Dinoopis is on hiatus at the moment, but she is my favourite muse, and creates the most interesting figure references. This is in my A3 sketchbook, with acrylic sludge as the ground, which I am…

Quinacridone Muse
She’s all fingers and toes, and if the paint was quinacridone rose I could make a poem, but I didn’t think of that, so here she is in quinacridone magenta, which is about as much to die for as this juicy pose. Til the morn, Suzanne 551/600

Cobalt By Accident
I pulled out the wrong blue and it was on the gel plate palette before I noticed. I ended up liking the mistake, and enjoyed the shadows I got from it. I love a happy accident. Til the morn, Suzanne 549/600

Cool Moves
This is my first go with this reference, and it was really fun to do. Til the morn, Suzanne 548/600

Figuring It Out
I spent some time looking over all the work I have done on this hands studies and figure with hands project as I felt like I was a bit stuck. I made some notes about things that I liked from all the different approaches, and things that I didn’t like, and tried to figure out…

Workbook Pages
I saw a conversation in response to a sketchbook tour video recently, and it’s a fairly common type of conversation that I’ve seen numerous times. Of course I now can’t find the post, but as I said, it’s a fairly common thing you see online. The sketchbook in the video was a beautifully executed watercolour…

Storm, Finally
The heatwave finally broke into a massive thunderstorm that went on for ages. There’s cool air tonight, and I am hoping for a good sleep. Til the morn, Suzanne 544/600

Sketch Anyway
We’re having another heatwave. I hate it. It’s ridiculous. I did not feel like painting or anything at all, to be honest. It was just too hot, even in the room we do manage to keep cooler. In the end I pulled out the jumbo paint markers and did a couple of hand studies on…

Sparkle
It was too hot to paint today, and it wasn’t a good day for various reasons, but I haven’t let that ruin the entire day. We did get our internet reinstated, and engineer arrived and fixed the cable, and now I have lots of things to catch up on. Sometimes I look at what’s happening…
