More batching
Day I can’t remember but I think it’s 31. The funky perspective pose is one I have done before on a larger scale landscape ratio, so it’s a good challenge trying it again in a 6″ square. Composition is one of the things I am playing with in this project, as well as challenging my…

Batching Thoughts
Day 30 The 100 Day Project I worked on five boards today, and this one is the most complete, although that hand on the knee and I are having some disagreements. Hopefully in the morning it will come together, or at some point. I was recalling a while ago I was muttering things about batching…

All Together
Day 29 of 100 Day Project There are 28 mini canvases here, and the other one that I don’t include with the figures, because it doesn’t fit, so I’m still keeping up with the one canvas for every day. That isn’t how they’ve come together, sometimes I sketch on a couple, then work them on…

Ugh
Day 28 This was another one that only had the sketch on the board, and I’ve given it a first layer today. Funny how the pose reflects how I’m feeling today. I got called some awful things today for liking a post calling for better provision of mental health care, this in the context of…

Keep Going
I’ve lost count of the days with the 100 Day Project, but wherever I am with it, it’s continuing as a daily practice. This one is a basic Zorn palette that needs more work, but the studio got annoyingly hot today, and it’s only March. I unpacked my new gel plate and it turns out…

Stacked
This was a real puzzle to figure out, and I could probably come back for a few tweaks here and there, but everything is just about where it should be. Playing with quinacridone red and viridian today. Viridian is such an interesting colour. By itself I am not a big fan, but its fun to…

Blue Monday
100 Day Project #23 6×6″ acrylic on canvas I pulled out a tube of manganese blue today. It’s such a beautiful colour, and I haven’t used it for ages. I put it together with quinacridone magenta. I’m amused by the phone pic, which seems to have emphasised the shadow under the arm to make it…

Ghost Layer
Day 22 of 100 mini canvases. I painted today’s mini figure over the rejected board from yesterday, and I really like this one. I also liked the ghost of part of yesterday’s bad sketch, so I chose to leave that in. Til the morn, Suzanne 757/800

Day 21 Mini Canvases
This is a collage of almost all my mini canvases for the 100 Day Project. The one of Andrew Windsor is excluded, because that is fitting. There’s another one that was started today along with two of the bottom row, but the sketch was bad, so it got another layer of background colour. It also…

More Layers
The texture from the layers of clear gesso is interesting, and it gives a good ground for finishing this one up with Conté pencils. I say finishing this one, but I used workable fixative to fix it, and I get extra points for using fixative to fix a drawing on the same day I did…
