Quatro
Mini portrait umber four is complete. This is for Week 4 of Let’s Face It with Laurie Johnson. Model & Photographer: Sasha Sears Source: Museum/SKTCHY app I’m in catch-up mode with the classes at the moment, but I’m not stressing about it. I’m painting every day, and that’s what I’m focused on. I really enjoyed…

Girl in this world
First finished painting of 2025. Yay! Acrylic on paper, 16×12″ 300gsm watercolour paper. This is my response to the first class in Let’s Face It 2025, with Kara Bullock. I decided to use the same reference as Kara (from Museum app) but do my own thing with the colour palette, composition, and style. Instead of…

Looking Up Or Eye Rolling
I spent some time yesterday making collage fodder with a view to using it for this class project, and then got up and did something completely different from the plan. I made the background, then sketched this cute quine in with a few charcoal marks, and then did my underpainting with caput mortuum. Next I…

Saturday Storm
Storm Bert upended all the plans for today, and we haven’t departed yet. This meant I had time to put the finishing touches to this one, and although it’s not my thing, I like the end result. Til the morn, Suzanne 280/300

Watercolour and Mood
I was not in the mood today. I didn’t sleep very well, and I am minorly distracted by an upcoming wee trip, and knuckling down to anything wasn’t happening today. I did do a couple of rounds of fixing all the charcoal, pastel and graphite drawings I have done recently. Luckily it was dry outside,…

Grungey
I finished the art journal spread with the abstract collage that I started yesterday. I made good use of the vermillion soft pastel that I bought recently to top up an order so as to get free postage. I’m a big fan of vermillion. This spread was inspired by a Jerney Marisha Let’s Face It…

Charcoal and Cheek
I set myself several challenges this year, and one of them was to submit a piece in response to every Let’s Face It class. I have sixteen classes that are either partially done, or just in the well-I-watched-the-demo stage. In the spirit of staying current, this week’s class was by Robert Kelley, who is exceptional…

Massive Crown
I’m continuing in the current motivated phase, which I am thoroughly enjoying, and today I finished the portrait I started the other day, and did the first main chunk of work on yesterday. 12×16″ oil on paper I immediately started working on another painting. It not a class, and I only sketched in the underpainting,…

Oily Practise
I carried on with my portrait in oils with the interesting eye-roll reference. I think she’s done for now, although I might come back and fiddle a bit more, but for now I am happy with this exercise. I was thinking about my Word of the Year today – practise – and the way I…

Eye Roll First Pass
Lots still to do with this one, but I got further than I expected, and I’m quite happy with how it is going. Til the morn, Suzanne 264/300

Let The Paint Flow
I’m firing on all cylinders today, and I’m thoroughly thankful for such a productive and enjoyable day. I painted all day. I painted all day. I’m savouring that, it was perfect. I prepped four wood panels that are potentially going to become paintings for an art call. I have no idea what I want to…

Feet
I did not spend a lot of time on art today, but I did bring this little project along a bit. I was hoping to get it finished, but that didn’t happen. I had to laugh tho, because the other day I prepped a bunch of surfaces for painting, and today there’s an artist call…
