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

Hiya guys, Can't say as many of these dailies have been turning out as I'd like. Painting them each within a set limited time frame has proven challenging and these latest actually extended beyond the 1h set quite a bit. Still I think it's really good practice to to try to quickly think of all the variables required for a good compo / painting - hues, temperature, composition, light, hard & soft edge, depth, weight and so much more. I see these dailies as just sorta sprints to prime my brain to think quickly through the problems that I have already practiced thinking about in longer drawn out artworks though. Done on their own, they would probably have the terrible effect of inculcating a shoddy habit of mindless quick painting. It's a skill to work methodically with precision while still doing so fast. Setting a time limit for a painting like this should be done purposefully as a side to the real practice of creating art where one has all the time needed to work out and ruminate on all the nuances of a piece. One naturally gets faster at it in time anyway. Anyways all new dailies (that have survived) are posted on Studies before anywhere else so do drop by if you are interested! :)
Ta guys! Hiya guys! I've recently started incorporating these lil' life still life paintings in to my daily warmup sessions!.. Painted quickly alla prima, I'm hoping this will help me hone my life painting skills, especially in colour mixing and observation. Someday's fall flat, in which case I just wipe the support clean ready for the next days daily. Luckily most days I manage to wrangle up something decent though.. at least so far.. :) Here are the first few that I've recently made available for collection... Thanks for dropping by folks!
Using a very minimal pallet of light red, cadmium yellow, cobalt blue and raw umber, this piece was painted alla prima!..  Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvasboard / Size: 6 x 6 Inches SOLD
Another favourite of mine I have been holding on to, but the time has come!.. This piece highlights our social and 'anti' economic system which profits and inevitably encourages detrimental effects to our environment and health.  Oil on Canvasboard / Size: Miniature Triptych consisting of three 3.1 inch x 3.6 inch panels Personal Collection Thanks for dropping by!.. :)
This piece evolved from a modeled study of the chair. Modeled studies focus attention on the feeling of weight of the subject, and I tried to develop this thought process further by getting the viewer to perceive the weight/manner of the departed subject, from foorprints left behind alone...  Black Oil Pastel on Newsprint/ Size: 14.5" x 11"
So tis not the season, I know, but I've been meaning to paint these homemade fellows since I took a pic of them hot out of the oven last Christmas..  'Mince Pies' Medium: Artists Watercolour on Fabriano Watercolour Paper Size: 5 x 7 Inches SOLD Thanks for the visit!.. :)
Hi there, so this would be the first of a series I'll be painting with a magnifying glass. Called 'The Testy Text' (you probably get what I mean from the magnified text), it sets the tone for the next paintings in the series..  'The Testy Text' Alla Prima ACEO Medium: Oil on Linenboard Size: 3.5 x 2.5 Inches SOLD
Painted from life alla prima, a very minimalist pallet was used of Cad Yellow & Red, Phthalo Blue, Paynes Gray & of course Titanium White.
For the lettering I used a Sgraffito technique with a sharp black colour pencil.. Everything else was painted with two (000) rounds... Thanks for the visit!.. :) Hi!,.. Another little alla prima of an olive having fun,.. or not..  'Forked Olive' Medium: Oil on Linen board Size: 2.5 x 3.5 Inches SOLD
Used a small cake fork for this, so as to maintain a minimalist composition while keeping it balanced with the lone olive!.. Painted alla prima as always from life!.. :)
Thanks for the visit!.. :) Hiya guys! This month is the beginning of my much anticipated 'Daily Paintworks' journey! Thought I'd introduce myself to the amazingly talented 'Daily Paintworks' community with this lil' ACEO I did about a week back. I'll be giving each piece at least a week to dry before giving them a layer of retouch varnish for protection and adding them for sale on the site.. 'Black Olives' Alla Prima ACEO Oil on Primed Linenboard Size: 2.5 x 3.5 Inches SOLD 
I just love adding black olives to my dishes and really had fun painting them from life here!.. :)
Thank you for the visit guys!.. :) |
