I started a new collage, but having a tough time placing some of the pieces together. This resulted in a bunch of separate pieces that I'll eventually use.

I finally got around to working on these sketches more. They're not perfect, but much better than before.    Many go out to bars to hang out with their friends on a Saturday. I like to work in my quiet art studio. Tonight I gessoed two wood panels, cradled a small panel, broke a mirror, and then sorted the pieces.  I want to be able to create small paintings at home, so I've collated a small kit which includes paint jars.  Had a delicious cup of iced chai and painted the cats.   Found this picture of Ogre from Skinny Puppy and was immediately inspired.  Many of the drawings did not turn out great, but it was still a great experience.     This is my favorite drawing of the day.      Over the years, I have collected quite a few pastel sets and often there are colors I would never use. I learned online how to make new pastels from the old. I use browns a lot in my sketches, so tried an experiment. The results were not too bad, especially considering they were unusable for me. I think I'll buy a cheap and small mortar and pestle to make the job easier because I'd like to make a lot more.   I designed, printed, and added labels to the jars I bought. I will be working with only five colors, so the job wasn't too bad. I also tried an experiment to glue together a cradle for a wood panel. I don't have corner clamps.   |
