Incredible ;)
I was doing some colour mixing with a red that I don’t often use, and the results were, shall we say, interesting. I remain unconvinced, and the tube of red paint may remain rarely used. I may have a different view in the morning. I do my best not to waste paint, so I used…

Body Emerging
I liked what happened yesterday in my sketchbook, so I decided to try something similar on one of the canvas boards I have a pile of. I am not in a great frame of body today, but I’ve got the basics of this body lightly painted onto the background. Believe me, she’s in a better…

Painting Shapes Meditation
This is a really good reference for pulling your brain out of the world and into just looking and seeing and trying to make sense of the shapes. I have that privilege, many don’t. Til the morn, Suzanne 561/600

Snatching Time
Painting while dog-sitting. He’s a bit of a nervous Beastie, so I was aware things might be interrupted, but he’s been very good. I got another version of the pose I painted yesterday, and a quick gesture sketch (below). I packed the wrong tube of blue for my limited palette, but I’ve decided that I…

Loch Lee and Figure Study
Today was a long, filling-the-well day. We travelled to Glenesk and walked around 6 miles altogether in fairly hot weather that was forecast as cooler and a chance of rain. We did get some sprinkles of rain, and the clouds came in about, but it was still hot. You may have picked up that I…

Hot Dry Paint
Another few days of limited supplies far from home, and unexpected very hot weather. The paint was drying on the gel plate before I could even get it to the paper, so I kind of gave up. Til the morn, Suzanne 558/600

Saturday Extremities
Lots of things were done with paint today, but all of them are in that stage where they don’t really look like much, but I did have a go at this pose which is a bit fun. Til the morn, Suzanne 553/600

All Fingers And Pose
Cobalt blue and caput mortuum make a satisfying mix for this luscious pose in my continued season of hands studies. Dinoopis is on hiatus at the moment, but she is my favourite muse, and creates the most interesting figure references. This is in my A3 sketchbook, with acrylic sludge as the ground, which I am…

Quinacridone Muse
She’s all fingers and toes, and if the paint was quinacridone rose I could make a poem, but I didn’t think of that, so here she is in quinacridone magenta, which is about as much to die for as this juicy pose. Til the morn, Suzanne 551/600

Thirty Seconds and Counting
For today’s practise I cut some large sheets off a roll of cartridge paper to fit my A2 boards. This practise is one that I really enjoy, but don’t do often enough. Today it was all I did. The basic practise is to choose a figure reference, then set a timer for 30 seconds and…

Cool Moves
This is my first go with this reference, and it was really fun to do. Til the morn, Suzanne 548/600

Sparkle
It was too hot to paint today, and it wasn’t a good day for various reasons, but I haven’t let that ruin the entire day. We did get our internet reinstated, and engineer arrived and fixed the cable, and now I have lots of things to catch up on. Sometimes I look at what’s happening…
