Round and Round
Things got a bit carried away today as my washing machine decided to get stuck in a perpetual cycle and I spent an inordinate amount of time watching the thing going round and round hoping I had managed to coax it into a different cycle that would result in it beeping and letting me open…

Second Pass Brushy Layers
This one is coming along nicely. I’ve been using one of those cheap, shitty brushes in the largest size to build the layers on this, but I’m not at the stage of bringing in a smaller, but still scratchy and shitty, one for a bit of detail. The palette I’m using is limited to phthalo…

Brush Stash
The stash of new brushes on the right are to expand my oil painting brush collection, which is kind of a commitment to doing more oil painting. I don’t usually post new supplies pics, but look at the the tiny oil paper block I ordered, it’s so cute! I’m aware that I do things like…

Raw Sienna Mixing
Today I did some skin tones colour mixing. I do a lot of skin tones mixing, and I don’t think I will ever run out of possible combinations. I quite often use yellow ochre, but today I swapped in raw sienna for a change. The palette: raw sienna, naples yellow, cad red, ultramarine, zinc white…

Tiny Toes

Small Canvas Sketch
I have been looking, but it seems there is no way for me to block nasty little possibly bots who are lurking around this blog, apparently scraping my art for someone else’s benefit. I’m on the inexpensive tier with WordPress, which doesn’t give much in the way of features, and I guess that’s just what…

Phthalo Highlights
I think she’s done, but I’ll know in the morning. Oil on oil paper, 16×12″ Til the morn, Suzanne 713/800

Looking Left
This has come out more blue than turquoise on my phone, but it’s a yummy phthalo turquoise for the background. This is the first layer blocking in values and claiming the page, which is 16×12″ oil paper. I’m experimenting with a limited palette: phthalo turquoise, phthalo blue, burnt sienna, cadmium red and white. It’s an…

One Square Hour
I enjoyed this little oil painting more than the previous ones, so it’s the same lesson as always – repetition brings results. I have a lot of resistance around oil painting, and I think a lot of that is noise, because I do really love the open nature of the paint. There’s also no reason…

Mini Figure in Oil
This is a tiny painting. It’s 6×6″ (15x15cm) and I don’t know who thinks these things up (me) but I got half way into this little oil painting and started questioning my life choices. The challenge, and it isn’t even really a challenge, it’s just here is a supply of mini canvas boards to do…

Red Net
16×12″ acrylic on 300gsm paper I think he’s finished, but you never know, I might go back in tomorrow. Til the morn, Suzanne 704/800

First Pass Portrait
There’s a lot to fix, but this is the first pass, and all the paper is claimed, and I am enjoying where it is going. Beards and facial hare are not my favourite thing, but the only way to get better is to get better. I’m using a Zorn palette with cadmium red as the…
