Haunted
I have been experimenting with different reds as grounds, and I’ve also been trying different versions of the very limited palette in this painting, trying different reds to see what I like. Today I used pyrrole red, and swapped the unbleached titanium for titanium white. I quite like it, and it is definitely a response…

Inverness Trip to See Ken Currie: The Crossing An / Turas
We were up long before the crack of dawn for a day trip to Inverness, which is a long day, but, it turns out, entirely do-able. The reason for the day trip was to see an exhibition at Inverness Museum and Art Gallery, Ken Currie: The Crossing / An Turas. We set off for the…

Rotating Projects
Another day of mixing things up and rotating projects. I prepped a canvas for an idea that I had a while ago, but forgot about until today when I was flipping through a sketchbook and came across the sketch. After the gesso was dry I decided to try out some of the flexible modelling paste…

It’s pink but it’s white
I have this tube of fluorescent pink acrylic that is almost finished, and it’s a few years old, so I’m on a mission to finish the tube. I smeared it on this sketchbook page, where it is less likely to be a fugitive, but it makes working my values kind of interesting because it is…

Limited plus quinacridone red
Today I took the limited palette I used in this painting and I added quinacridone red to the palette. I’m going to try adding different reds to this palette to see what happens, and which ones I like the most. Til the morn, Suzanne 611/700

Quiet Blue
A week of social interaction is followed by a day of quiet, and then playing with some of the new supplies I returned with. I also tried mixing a black using quinacridone red, phthalo green blue shade and ultramarine. I like it, it’s quite Payne’s grey in nature. I used what I had mixed for…

Contains Clown
Most of today was travel and social, so there was just a snatched ten minutes for painting. I decided for a bit of fun inspired by the season, and a decoration I bought. Just a bit of fun. Til the morn, Suzanne 609/700

Very Handy
I was hoping to get a longer painting session in today as I am dogsitting, but the angle I’m at sitting at a dining table painting is irritating whatever is niggling in my shoulder, so I decided to call it a day after the basic blocking in was done. Perhaps all the ball launching for…

Budget Paint Swatch Sketch
I didn’t have much time today, as most of the day was taken up visiting the best dog park ever, followed by accumulating an art haul in two different shops. I bought some canvases, brushes, a gold ink that’s supposed to be the most gold ink you can get, a few brushes and a variety…

Wonky Dog
Sketchbook play doing studies of the wonky dog lurcher I’m staying with. The spread is quick studies from action photos taken at the dog park. The hill at the top is Bennachie, which is the mother mountain backdrop at the dog park, and a landscape knitted into my soul. The next page is one the…

Warm-up Sketch
A quick portrait sketch today as I’m a bit tired after a 5am start. I did have my sketching kit accessible during my train station layover, but it was black as pitch, so this is all I have. Til the morn, Suzanne 605/700

Melancholy Boy on Red
My To Do List was extensive today, my own doing because I’ve decided at the last minute to go off gallivantin the morn, so organising that took precedent. I did not attempt the last pass of my large portrait because that requires time to meander, and I didn’t want to ruin it. So a quick…
