Two Years
Trying something similar to yesterday, and adding in a Conté pencil. I noticed today that yesterday marked precisely two years since I started a 100 Day Project, and then just kept going. Two years of daily art practise is pretty cool. Til the morn, Suzanne 731/800

Tiny Toes
oil on canvas board 6×6″ This was a fun pose to translate onto a small 6″ (20cm) square canvas. Toes! Til the morn, Suzanne 715/800

Big Canvas Big Feet
This is the second largest size of canvas I have, and it’s 24×30″. I haven’t decided if it is finished, but it is finished for now, and all painted today. I enjoy the value study element, but I suspect I will come back and do more because I am thinking about skin tones as I…

Extremities I and II
I don’t think a painting is ever finished, but I have called time on these, beaten my deadline by a day, and written up and submitted the forms for their inclusion in the small works section of an annual exhibition. More on that in the new year. Ta da. Also, I am amused by today’s…

Nearly There
This one is almost, almost finished. Just a couple of tiny adjustments that I am noticing in the photo. The pair to this canvas is needing a bit more work, so I am aiming to finish both tomorrow, which will be a day ahead of the deadline I set myself. Clever me. I suspect the…

Knuckle Down
I worked on a few different canvases today, and I was avoiding these two, which are under my self-imposed upcoming deadline, but I did pick them up and do some work on them, so I can pat myself on the back for that. They are looking a bit washed out in the photos which is…

All Fingers and Toes
I spent a lot of time colour mixing today, and making notes in my sketchbook, and then I worked on these two, and I think they are working well as a pair. I have been looking for another image to use for a third, but haven’t decided on that yet. I have chosen the other…

Party of Four
Back to batching and the collection of canvases in various stages of completion. I worked on these four today, and I enjoyed swapping them back and forth after bringing them on a little, it was a nice change of rhythm after a lot of focus being on one canvas. The bottom right one is probably…

Figure on Canvas
I’m supposed to be finishing some 30×30 boards, so obviously I went and did other things instead. I painted this in acrylic on a 16×20″ stretched canvas. I am not sure if I am going to keep the flesh tones like this, or go off on a tangent inspired by yesterday’s oil stick piece. I…

Feet Dangling
Starting the day with in-person art supplies shopping is better than coffee. Starting the day with excellent bargains on good quality sketchbooks, and half-price canvases is better than, well, coffee with cream. I also bought some thick foam for making stamps, and a bottle of clear gesso. I didn’t bring my clear gesso, but I…

Sole Perspective
This sketchbook started out as a project on practising painting hands, and evolved into hands and feet, and figures with either hands, feet, or both. I was flipping through it today, and it’s so much more than that, because there’s also colour explorations, materials explorations, technique explorations, value, shape, proportions and perspective. I’m noting that…
