Act on Ideas
One thing leads to another, as always, and yesterdays foraging in the jungle of my garden, which led to some gel prints recording my favourite leaves, led to more foraging and more gel printing, which led to this idea that I’m experimenting with in my sketchbook. It’s rough, and needs tweaking, refining, and a change…

New Sketchbook Day
Charcoal and gesso on the inside cover of a new sketchbook. It’s technically not a new sketchbook as it has been in my stash for a while. It’s thicker paper than the spiralbound ones, so perhaps a bit more sturdy for the type of layering I tried the other day. Til the morn, Suzanne 820/900

Lush Texture
I’m not sure how well the texture shows up in this photo, but there is a lot of texture on the page. I used handmade textured papers to see how they work with charcoal and figure drawing. I am now obsessed with the circles handmade textured paper, and I’m going to make loads tomorrow. The…

Angles and Curves
Today’s share is a first go at this fun pose in my A3 sketchbook. I used a stick of compressed charcoal that had somehow gained a coat of gesso. I don’t know. Turns out scratching legs and feet cleans a dirty crayon. Don’t mind me while I keep one eye on the train wreck that…

Warm and Cool
This is naples yellow and a cerulean blue, two colours that are never the same depending on which brand they come from. This particular combination makes me happy, which is a shame because the tube of naples yellow is about to make it’s last blob on the palette, and the new tube is a different…

Peaches and Cream
This is the latest addition to the 100 Day Project 6×6″ canvas pile. I am not sure where the numbers are at the moment as I am experimenting with not being obsessive about counting, and just letting the project flow. This was painted with that pot of mixed media sketchy inky paint I came up…

New Muse
Today’s share is from my A3 sketchbook. A while ago I bought some packs of reference photos but I went on a trip and forgot about them, so had never downloaded them until today. I’m happy with my purchase. I started this study using an Artgraf Tailor’s Shape. I haven’t picked it up for ages,…

Fifty Paintings
It’s Day 50 of the 100 Day Project and I have a pile of fifty paintings in various stages of completion. Technically there are fifty-one paintings, but Andrew has been relegated from the recaps because he’s a disgusting specimen that doesn’t deserve too much attention. There are now so many I can’t fit them in…

Inky Mystery
Mixed media. I have this little pot of inky joy that I mixed a while back, but I can’t remember what exactly I put in it, other than some fluid payne’s grey paint. As long as it lasts, I will enjoy painting with it, and then have the challenge of trying to mix something similar.…

Framing Fun
I’m thinking about framing a few of my paintings, and that’s a whole new ballgame, so I’m playing with the free bits of this app, and I came up with this. Obviously this is not to scale as these paintings are all 6×6″, but I haven’t figured out all the settings for the app yet.…

All Together
Day 29 of 100 Day Project There are 28 mini canvases here, and the other one that I don’t include with the figures, because it doesn’t fit, so I’m still keeping up with the one canvas for every day. That isn’t how they’ve come together, sometimes I sketch on a couple, then work them on…
