Art All Day Yay
I had a full-on art day today, just hours and hours of pottering and creating. I started out with a figure sketch in my A3 hands and feet sketchbook. I got the basics down, and then I had a Zoom session doing short, timed studies of landscapes with Orla Stevens. I am not much practised…

Carmine Red Mood
I had a parcel due today, and it was due in a specific timeframe, and so I planned my day accordingly. I am one of those people who just can’t focus if there’s some sort of appointment or happening, but I thought it would be fine because the timeframe was morning. Pfft. The parcel, which…

Fingers and Toes Again
I have run out of pyrrole red, but there’s more en-route 😉 I did have enough for this painting in my A3 sketchbook. I did a few other bits and pieces today, but this is my favourite. I’ve painted a version of this pose previously in a more muted palette. Til the morn, Suzanne 618/700

Get It On Paper
The clocks changed overnight, and we reverted to GMT for the winter, and I am discombobulated, naturally. I had an idea, and this sketchbook page is the start of working out the idea. It’s definitely not a finished and resolved page, it’s just scratching an idea onto a page for later – what sketchbooks are…

Mirror Distortion
A similar study to yesterday, playing with a limited palette, a mirror, and a mood. This is not a self-portrait, it is just using my face as a reference, but going off on a tangent, playing with distortion, and the weird shadows I was getting from the low slung winter sun outside. I took my…

Haunted
I have been experimenting with different reds as grounds, and I’ve also been trying different versions of the very limited palette in this painting, trying different reds to see what I like. Today I used pyrrole red, and swapped the unbleached titanium for titanium white. I quite like it, and it is definitely a response…

It’s pink but it’s white
I have this tube of fluorescent pink acrylic that is almost finished, and it’s a few years old, so I’m on a mission to finish the tube. I smeared it on this sketchbook page, where it is less likely to be a fugitive, but it makes working my values kind of interesting because it is…

Limited plus quinacridone red
Today I took the limited palette I used in this painting and I added quinacridone red to the palette. I’m going to try adding different reds to this palette to see what happens, and which ones I like the most. Til the morn, Suzanne 611/700

Quiet Blue
A week of social interaction is followed by a day of quiet, and then playing with some of the new supplies I returned with. I also tried mixing a black using quinacridone red, phthalo green blue shade and ultramarine. I like it, it’s quite Payne’s grey in nature. I used what I had mixed for…

Contains Clown
Most of today was travel and social, so there was just a snatched ten minutes for painting. I decided for a bit of fun inspired by the season, and a decoration I bought. Just a bit of fun. Til the morn, Suzanne 609/700

Very Handy
I was hoping to get a longer painting session in today as I am dogsitting, but the angle I’m at sitting at a dining table painting is irritating whatever is niggling in my shoulder, so I decided to call it a day after the basic blocking in was done. Perhaps all the ball launching for…

Budget Paint Swatch Sketch
I didn’t have much time today, as most of the day was taken up visiting the best dog park ever, followed by accumulating an art haul in two different shops. I bought some canvases, brushes, a gold ink that’s supposed to be the most gold ink you can get, a few brushes and a variety…
