This is the first one I started yesterday.
And this the second, I did because I noticed my paint was thinner on the first one. I decided to try it again with my palette that had the thicker paint.
Both 6″x 8″ Canvas Board
Which one do you like better and why?
I only had a couple of hours to paint today but I got my sky done. 6″x8″ canvas board. I probably need to photograph this in better light tomorrow.
Thinking about summer blues skies, “Fields of the Plains” 8″x10″ Canvas Panel.
Playing with acrylic on a palette knife, and painting what landscape I see in my head. I’m getting adjusted to the feel of it! It’s great fun! I’m going to experiment with oils and palette knife soon and compare the results. 8×10″ canvas, landscape painted around the edges.
If it’s been a long time since I’ve painted, why not use lots of paint!
I enjoyed slopping it on liberally!
6″x6″ Acrylic on canvas panel
And now for something completely different… I realized that I hadn’t painted since last winter, and painting is my mainstay. The project that had consumed me for the past six months was in pastel. This morning I was in the mood! I never use a palette knife, but I wanted to play and experiment. I proceeded without a plan, or an image in my head, just lots of paint on my palette, and a knife. I am reasonably satisfied with the outcome, and I know how I want to proceed tomorrow, with a plan, loads of fresh paint, and a blank canvas.
“Walking to Ethiopia” illustration from “David’s Journey, A Lost By of Sudan.”
29×12″ Oil Pastel; on Pastel Paper
Another illustration with many people in it. I was happy though that I got it all done this week, because I need to get keep this pace to finish before my deadline. I enjoyed making these trees. They’re so gigantic but seem small without a point of reference.
The figure forms and colors were of interest to me in this illustration. Oil Pastel on Light Brown Pastel Paper 14.5″x12″
I’m worked out the detail on one of the pages of the Picture Book about “The Lost Boys of Sudan.” Cattle herding is central to the life of the South Sudanese. Next I will do a pastel of the picture. I would probably normally work out details on more pictures first, but I wanted to present a color rendering at the next meeting.
In the picture book there are pages with crowds of people sitting, standing, and walking. Obviously I don’t want to make them detailed, but just an impression. I used vine charcoal to keep it loose. Here is the first study.
'Art should serve a purpose other than itself.' Kath Kollwitz. 'Painting is drawing on canvas and engraving is drawing on copper and nothing else. Drawing is execution and nothing else'. (Blake,c.1809)
