All Fingers
Today’s share is a figure with hands in my A3 sketchbook. The page is covered in gesso and I used a different Art Graf supply today, this time a water-soluble crayon. I haven’t done the next stage, sealing with clear gesso on the gel plate, so it will be interesting to see how much this…

New Muse
Today’s share is from my A3 sketchbook. A while ago I bought some packs of reference photos but I went on a trip and forgot about them, so had never downloaded them until today. I’m happy with my purchase. I started this study using an Artgraf Tailor’s Shape. I haven’t picked it up for ages,…

Stretch
Mini canvas 51 is close to the finish line. There is a lot going on in that space that is around a centimetre square, so I’m going to have fun with that tomorrow. I worked another of the 100 Day Project canvases, one that was really not looking like much at all. It may yet…

Fifty Paintings
It’s Day 50 of the 100 Day Project and I have a pile of fifty paintings in various stages of completion. Technically there are fifty-one paintings, but Andrew has been relegated from the recaps because he’s a disgusting specimen that doesn’t deserve too much attention. There are now so many I can’t fit them in…

Inky Mystery
Mixed media. I have this little pot of inky joy that I mixed a while back, but I can’t remember what exactly I put in it, other than some fluid payne’s grey paint. As long as it lasts, I will enjoy painting with it, and then have the challenge of trying to mix something similar.…

Oops
Have you ever had a day where everything you touch turns to big doo doo? I don’t have them often, but today is definitely one of those days. I started out in fine fettle, with all sorts of ideas, and was happily tackling the first of them when I managed to kind of destroy my…

Bent out of shape
Playing with transparent layers for today’s mini canvas, using one of my trusty shitty brushes. Til the morn, Suzanne 782/800

Vertical Paper Storage
Last night I discovered what the term sleep paralysis means. I have experienced this once before but I don’t recall having a name for it. I suppose it’s quite natural for a person with cPTSD to experience such a thing when the expletive in the temu gold-sprayed polystyrene decor house takes us to within an…

Recoil
It’s incredibly weird posting a little bit of art and writing a little blog after having my morning coffee while digesting the latest out burst from the “leader of the free world” where he declares his wish to annihilate 93 million people, presumably with nuclear weapons. I don’t know what to say, or how to…

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…
