Another expressive piece combining a mix of media to create a blend of abstract realism. The gestural charcoal drawing of an expectant mother was first fixed from the back with shellac in expressive strokes that would then still be visible in a luminous like effect under the layer of translucent black plaka paint strokes in the front. The linear accidental effects from the paint caused by the natural puckering of the paper when wet, gives further dimensional layering and interest to the piece..

The astronomical clock in Prague is the 3rd oldest clock in the world and the oldest running and its intricate design and craftsmanship is really a sight to behold. This watercolour was painted from an image my mum took on a trip there a few years back. I instantly fell in love with the image of this beautiful medieval wonder and knew I had to paint it.  Cosmic Moment / Watercolor on 300gsm 100% rag Paper / 8 x 11.5 Inches  A study done for Our Painted Lives challenge of 'Where we store things', this drill has been my trusty helper for more than 20 years now!..  Oil on 150gm Cartridge Paper / Size: 10 x 8 Inches Though I had planned on following along with all the weekly challenges, I decided after my lackluster interest in this one that I would focus only on the challenges that aligned with my main objective when I started, and that was improving my skills with colour and light, I jumped ahead a bit with some of my painting buddies a month or so back, to do Week 33 where Nicolas asked us to search for old paint tubes we've bought in the past but have hardly ever used.. Begging the question Why did I buy this?..
Each piece just used two of these abandoned tubes and white, the two chosen completely by chance.
My throw of the dice landed me with palettes that were quite monotone, but it was still fun to find ways to create receding cools and advancing warms with the limited palettes.. Thanks for dropping by guys!.. :D Hi guys, This is the first little painting I've done of Watson, Surprising since her cuteness seems quite unreal at times.. haha!  Watson / Oil on Primed Hardboard / Size : 4.4 x 4.4 Inches Thanks for dropping by! :)

Hiya guys!.. I'd say this one is one of my favs of the 1st weeks challenge that I did.. Using hog bristle brushes, rather than the synthetics used for the others, every brushstroke was deeply pronounced and I tried to take advantage of this by ensuring every stoke would speak to the underlying forms and be texturally appealing with sure gesture.  Impasto (somewhat) brushstroke detail The bleaching white light of the ref image, flattened the models face somewhat. Thus the challenge was to portray this washed out lighting while still bringing dimensionality to the portrait..

 On the easel.. Week 1 Day 3 / Oil on Primed Paper / 8 x 5 Inches Ref Photo Credit : Duncan Shaffer on Unsplash Ahh.. I forgot to varnish the portrait I did on day 3 so I decided to post this one first!.. This piece is about twice the size of the previous works and was painted using a zorn palette.. If you are not familiar with this uber limited palette, it's one that consists of just 4 'hues' - Titanium White, Ivory Black, Yellow Ocher and a red. I used Cadmium Red.  Week 1 Day 4 / Oil on Primed Paper / Size: 10 x 8 Inches Ref Photo Credit : Alev Takil on Unsplash This was just the perfect image for the muted tones of a zorn palette, and the subjects smoldering 'f*' all stare to the viewer.
