    Mini Complex Pose

    100 Day Project ~ Day 35 There are 37 canvases, I think, and momentum is still going. I’m remembering last year when I was doing the daily oil painting and I got bored, that’s not happening this time. Maybe I find bodies more interesting than faces, or maybe the parameters I set were too limiting.…

  • Framing Fun

    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.…

    I haven’t posted my sketchbook explorations for a while, so here’s a page I worked on today. The delicious tangle of toes and shadows is definitely not there, yet, but it’s close. Til the morn, Suzanne 768/800

    Curled In On Self

    Day 32 100 Day Project Current total: 33 6×6″ canvas panels painted to various levels of completion. This is one of the canvases that had a background painted previously, and the figure has been painted today. I pulled out my timer, which I hadn’t been using for a while, and did the figure in just…

  • Batching Thoughts

    Batching Thoughts

    Day 30 The 100 Day Project I worked on five boards today, and this one is the most complete, although that hand on the knee and I are having some disagreements. Hopefully in the morning it will come together, or at some point. I was recalling a while ago I was muttering things about batching…

    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…

  • Ugh

    Ugh

    Day 28 This was another one that only had the sketch on the board, and I’ve given it a first layer today. Funny how the pose reflects how I’m feeling today. I got called some awful things today for liking a post calling for better provision of mental health care, this in the context of…

  • Big Gel Joy

    Big Gel Joy

    It’s Day 27 of the 100 Day Project, and I have 29 mini canvases with paint on. Today I pulled this one from the pile to bring it on a bit from the very scratchy sketch that was there. I started building the values and it’s looking a lot better than it was. I’ve also…

  • Stacked

    Stacked

    This was a real puzzle to figure out, and I could probably come back for a few tweaks here and there, but everything is just about where it should be. Playing with quinacridone red and viridian today. Viridian is such an interesting colour. By itself I am not a big fan, but its fun to…

    Blue Monday

    100 Day Project #23 6×6″ acrylic on canvas I pulled out a tube of manganese blue today. It’s such a beautiful colour, and I haven’t used it for ages. I put it together with quinacridone magenta. I’m amused by the phone pic, which seems to have emphasised the shadow under the arm to make it…

  • Ghost Layer

    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

  • Day 21 Mini Canvases

    Day 21 Mini Canvases

    This is a collage of almost all my mini canvases for the 100 Day Project. The one of Andrew Windsor is excluded, because that is fitting. There’s another one that was started today along with two of the bottom row, but the sketch was bad, so it got another layer of background colour. It also…
