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…

Mini Figure in Oil
This is a tiny painting. It’s 6×6″ (15x15cm) and I don’t know who thinks these things up (me) but I got half way into this little oil painting and started questioning my life choices. The challenge, and it isn’t even really a challenge, it’s just here is a supply of mini canvas boards to do…
