Duck Face
I have posted most of my morning sketches, but it’s a practise I am enjoying. I confess they are not always a morning sketch, but they are always the first art that I do. They are a great way to warm up and get the synapses sparking. I have come to a few conclusions today,…

Do It Anyway
I was pushed for time today, and this was done in thirty minutes. I need more time. Til the morn, Suzanne 403/500

Oil Sketch
Day 31 #The100DayProject I didn’t have an hour today, so this is a 30 minute oil sketch using one of my scratchy brushes. It’s probably more of an underpainting than anything else, but it’s done, streak maintained. I would offer up my Morning Sketch to take the edge off, but it was done in 8…

Going Green
I decided to try a reference I am comfortable with today, and I’m still trying out this alla prima technique that is a bit more in-depth. It’s quite challenging to do in an hour, and I am unconvinced with the greens for shadows, lol. I’m having fun, tho, which is good. I now have thirty…

Four Hundred Days
Day 29 of the 100 Day Project. I tried a different process for laying down the paint today, and although it hasn’t been entirely successful, I liked what I learned. I think the process is perhaps a challenge to complete in a hour, or perhaps more practise will make it easier. I could have painted…

The Eyes Don’t Have It
Day 28 The 100 Day Project A choice between not painting, and not reaching a 400 day streak of daily art tomorrow, or doing a fast and wonky effort. I chose fast and wonky and my streak. You win some, you lose some, that’s art. If there’s one thing I have learned over the past…

Smol Me
I had a battle with procrastination again today, but I eventually got there, around about the time the Noise Men started cleaning up their mess, and looking like they are finished. Yay. I decided on another selfie, and used a palette from a couple of weeks back – yellow ochre, alizarin crimson, caput mortuum, phthalo…

A Day
Day 26 of 100 Another from a selfie while having hot flashes and dealing with someone pumping music into my house from their van. This is not usual for our street, and it’s quite stressful. I usually do these 100 Day Project pieces in an hour, I gave up after 40 minutes because I was…

Selfies
I spent a short age trying to choose a reference, but nothing was speaking to me, so I found some selfies I had taken a while back where I was messing with different expressions but hadn’t tried painting them. The Morning Sketch looks nothing like the photo, but I was enjoying the interpretation so much…

Blue
Day 24 I like the Morning Sketch better than the painting, but the fact I made anything at all today is the win. The news from every corner is devastating. Horrific. Til the morn, Suzanne 395/400

Painting From a Sketch
Day 23 Instead of using a photo for reference, I used my Morning Sketch as a reference for this, which was interesting in terms of loosening the internal dialogue. I played around with the oil paints and mixes left on my palette from yesterday, and that lush background colour came from phthalo turquoise and quinacridone…

Make It Stop
The reference I chose today reflects my mood when I opened my phone this morning and saw footage of that Vance person haverin jobbies about Europe. No. The things that he says are happening are just not true. FFS Til the morn, Suzanne 393/400
