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

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…

Cheated Myself
When I set up the photo for yesterday’s post I had this niggling feeling that something wasn’t quite right, but couldn’t figure out what. Today I was choosing one of the canvases to do some work on and noticed the two cool purple mini canvases sat on a shelf, and I realised they hadn’t been…

Fourteen Days
It’s International Women’s Day and fuck the patriarchy, which includes the disgusting colonial project currently evaporating women and children in Southwest Asia. It’s also Day 14 of the 100 Day Project, and I have actually managed to paint fourteen canvases, which equates to one per day, but that’s not exactly how it has happened. None…

Fitting It All In
I decided not to completely obliterate the early scratchings of this one, and just added more layers, and it is looking a lot better than yesterday. It’s weird being back in the studio after nine days with only a corner of someone else’s dining table. It’s almost like starting at the beginning again. I got…

Study and Express
I did some more work with the black graphite pencils, and then I made a charcoal sketch with much faster, looser movements, and I like the difference. I bought a small can of “low odour” fixative, because with all the rain we have had there is a backlog of charcoal and pastel works needing fixed.…

Black Graphite Testing
I bought myself a set of the Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black pencils. I’ve been eyeing them for a while. I am sold on anything that suggests it is the blackest black pencil you know, so let’s see how this goes. This is on A2 cartridge paper, so it’s not small, and it’s not finished. I…

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

Inverness and Toes
Some snaps from our Inverness trip. Today’s art: Charcoal, acrylic ink and medium. Til the morn, Suzanne 730/800

Sponge Brush Day
Sponge brush figure drawings today. The world is a LOT. Til the morn, Suzanne 723/800

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…

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…
