Side Quests and Simplify
I’ve got several different iterations of the wild plant leaves monoprint idea percolating. I love it when one idea turns into a bunch of different side quests, and I give myself lots of different problems to solve. In the sketchbook today I painted this figure with simplification as the goal. Til the morn, Suzanne 834/900

Act on Ideas
One thing leads to another, as always, and yesterdays foraging in the jungle of my garden, which led to some gel prints recording my favourite leaves, led to more foraging and more gel printing, which led to this idea that I’m experimenting with in my sketchbook. It’s rough, and needs tweaking, refining, and a change…

Morning Painting
The heatwave has passed, and I got up early this morning and opened the windows to let some cool air in. This is the first time I’ve opened the windows for two weeks, because of the pollution from the fire at Ladybank. I’m not convinced all that has cleared, but the house was needing some…

From the Dark
Painting everything a chromatic black then pulling out the lighter values is as satisfying as choosing poses that are confusing. Til the morn, Suzanne 828/900

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…

Always Find Time
I had almost no time today for painting due to other commitments, which is quite unusual, but I managed a twenty minute session with my sketchbook, so all is not lost. Til the morn, Suzanne 814/900

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…

Sketching Day
Today’s share is my daily page in my A3 sketchbook. I was in the mood for sketching today, rather than full painting. Our election result finally tallied after 1am, and the last result was needed to define who came second, and is therefore effectively the opposition. For the first time in the life of the…
