  • Warm and Cool

    Warm and Cool

    This is naples yellow and a cerulean blue, two colours that are never the same depending on which brand they come from. This particular combination makes me happy, which is a shame because the tube of naples yellow is about to make it’s last blob on the palette, and the new tube is a different…

  • Peaches and Cream

    Peaches and Cream

    This is the latest addition to the 100 Day Project 6×6″ canvas pile. I am not sure where the numbers are at the moment as I am experimenting with not being obsessive about counting, and just letting the project flow. This was painted with that pot of mixed media sketchy inky paint I came up…

  • All Fingers

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.…

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

  • Recoil

    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…

  • Gel Plate Joy

    Gel Plate Joy

    I added another canvas to my pile today, and I put in an order for another thirty little canvases, so the 100 Day Project continues. I wanted to share this magical pull from my Gelelf gel plate, tho, because I’m completely obsessed with it. This is just a corner of the print, which is much…

  • Warming the cool

    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

    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…
