Warming the cool
Today’s 100 Day Project session. I pulled this wip from the shelf and started tidying it up a bit. I’m using acrylics for these, but I might go in with oils on this one for the finishing layers, just to see how I like it. I warmed the colours up a bit, but I might…

Forty Two of Forty Four of One Hundred
Day 42 and here are 42 of the 44 mini canvases I have painted so far. I’m definitely not running on empty as I think I was by this stage last year, so that’s telling me something. I’m happy with the way these look as a collection, even though some are very clearly unfinished. This…

Red Oxide Puzzle
Day 41 and I started two new boards, bringing the total to 42 boards. I haven’t quite figured out the top figure, but I’m having a great time sorting shadows and puzzling. Til the morn, Suzanne 776/800

Resistance is Futile
I’ve been going through a resistance to various things, including the idea of posting every day. Sometimes that happens, and I tend to plod until I come out the other side, and so far I come to some agreement with myself, and carry on. This short season of questioning my life choices was borne of…

Enough
I haven’t painted just a hand for quite some time, and they are such interesting and complex things, so I isolated this out of a pose photo. The square format makes it a bit challenging, but I had an idea about this being a layer, rather than the finished thing, so I’m giving it a…

Green Day
I never use my tube greens, and if you were to browse my supplies you might notice that in all media greens are less prominent, I just don’t buy greens very often. I mix them, probably mostly for shadows, but I don’t have much green in my work. I painted up three of my mini…

Small Accomplishment
100 Day Project Day 37 It’s a 6 inch square canvas, so that means I have managed to fit a hand and foot into a roughly 6x2in space, so my work here is done 🙂 Til the morn, Suzanne 772/800

Learning Curves
I’ve been trying out a couple of different art supplies this week, and today’s experiment is trying out the primary set of Golden Open acrylics I acquired. I did have two tubes of Open in my stash, I think they came with a sample pack I got in a sale, so I have just about…

Mini Complex Pose
100 Day Project ~ Day 35 There are 37 canvases, I think, and momentum is still going. I’m remembering last year when I was doing the daily oil painting and I got bored, that’s not happening this time. Maybe I find bodies more interesting than faces, or maybe the parameters I set were too limiting.…

Framing Fun
I’m thinking about framing a few of my paintings, and that’s a whole new ballgame, so I’m playing with the free bits of this app, and I came up with this. Obviously this is not to scale as these paintings are all 6×6″, but I haven’t figured out all the settings for the app yet.…

Cool Blues
I haven’t posted my sketchbook explorations for a while, so here’s a page I worked on today. The delicious tangle of toes and shadows is definitely not there, yet, but it’s close. Til the morn, Suzanne 768/800

Curled In On Self
Day 32 100 Day Project Current total: 33 6×6″ canvas panels painted to various levels of completion. This is one of the canvases that had a background painted previously, and the figure has been painted today. I pulled out my timer, which I hadn’t been using for a while, and did the figure in just…
