  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Resistance is Futile

    Resistance is Futile

    I’ve been going through a resistance to various things, including the idea of posting every day. Sometimes that happens, and I tend to plod until I come out the other side, and so far I come to some agreement with myself, and carry on. This short season of questioning my life choices was borne of…

  • Green Day

    Green Day

    I never use my tube greens, and if you were to browse my supplies you might notice that in all media greens are less prominent, I just don’t buy greens very often. I mix them, probably mostly for shadows, but I don’t have much green in my work. I painted up three of my mini…

  • Small Accomplishment

    Small Accomplishment

    100 Day Project Day 37 It’s a 6 inch square canvas, so that means I have managed to fit a hand and foot into a roughly 6x2in space, so my work here is done 🙂 Til the morn, Suzanne 772/800

  • Mini Complex Pose

    Mini Complex Pose

    100 Day Project ~ Day 35 There are 37 canvases, I think, and momentum is still going. I’m remembering last year when I was doing the daily oil painting and I got bored, that’s not happening this time. Maybe I find bodies more interesting than faces, or maybe the parameters I set were too limiting.…

  • Cool Blues

    Cool Blues

    I haven’t posted my sketchbook explorations for a while, so here’s a page I worked on today. The delicious tangle of toes and shadows is definitely not there, yet, but it’s close. Til the morn, Suzanne 768/800

  • Ghost Layer

    Ghost Layer

    Day 22 of 100 mini canvases. I painted today’s mini figure over the rejected board from yesterday, and I really like this one. I also liked the ghost of part of yesterday’s bad sketch, so I chose to leave that in. Til the morn, Suzanne 757/800

  • Day 21 Mini Canvases

    Day 21 Mini Canvases

    This is a collage of almost all my mini canvases for the 100 Day Project. The one of Andrew Windsor is excluded, because that is fitting. There’s another one that was started today along with two of the bottom row, but the sketch was bad, so it got another layer of background colour. It also…

  • Blue Blue Blue

    Blue Blue Blue

    Day 16 of the 100 Day Project I was playing in my sketchbook with some value and saturation experiments with a limited palette of cad orange and phthalo blue, and black and white. I had some leftover paint, so I put it to good use on another 6×6″ canvas. I’ve painted this one previously, but…

  • Mini WIPs

    Mini WIPs

    The 100 Day Project day 3 I have four mini canvases painted, one finished (yesterday’s Andrew Windsor leaving police custody study) and three WIPs. I am enjoying working with the idea of creating a bunch of WIPs that can be stored up for finishing, this might work well for times when I’m away from the…
