Above 52 cm sq.
Above 52 cm sq.
All of theses, apart from the first two are the 15 cm sq ones that I have just cut a mount round. Some of them needed the buff coloured paper on them, not the white. Interesting.
I am aiming to follow the model of Hiroshi Matsumoto who does small Daily paintings and posts one each day on his Etsy shop. Something to think about there. If I do small Dailies, or alternate them between small and 52 cm sq.then that will allow me to do other things. I am going to have a try on a big board this afternoon !
Above..... Poor photo of the big Daily...It's about 3 foot by 4 . It went through many incarnations, darks, lights, darks, lights. It a MAY be finished , will return to it tomorrow.
What I liked about it.......neutral, layered, lost landscape feel ( or is that just me because I can still see the landscape painting it was an hour ago ! ) textures....mmmmm.
I didn't like the acrylics on a big scale ..... Go into oils.....acrylics are stiffer and harder to apply in big areas.....my studio is completely set up to paint the 52 cm Dailies, not bigger boards and I can' t fling the paint around as I would in a studio .... mmmmm.
What will tomorrow bring ?
