Current Project

Today is August 29, 2009.  I picked up a few pencils this Month.  In preparation for a good size painting, I began to study human figures.  I will post related studies, thoughts and photos using a soundkeepers' blog: http://soundkeepers.blogspot.com/.

Past Project Notes

June 17, 2007: Little Red Lighthouse.  It was a hot day.  I had to drag all my painting equipment to the lighthouse.  Nobody saw what I was painting because I had to paint this painting vertically; my easel wouldn't fit the frame horizontally.  Once I flipped the painting horizontally, the watchful crowd was relieved.

June 17, 2007: Put 2 layers of Matt Varnish on the lady by the sea.  Going to put 1 more coat next weekend.

March 27, 2005: The second layer of skin was applied.  Need to decide what to do next.  I personally like the way it looks, but the painting looks bit unsaturated.  I may leave the painting the way it is.  Sun blessed me today and I was able to take a pretty good photo. 

March 20, 2005: The girl by the sea skin tone applied. 

Feb 22, 2005: It certainly was a late night.  Finally decided to paint the sketch that was produced in 2002.  I am glad in a way, that I have waited.  I hold back on colors these days.  So use to seeing so many colors in my mind, that it is difficult to hold back using my usual colors; result of my own color governance, however, has been providing me great satisfaction with my finished works. 

As I was taking a break from it all yesterday, I had a strange revelation for a color mix.  The mix consisted of prussian blue, lamp black and titanium white; let that dry, and put a thin layer of skin tone.  I was awake, until the late hours of the night, completing first tasks for this painting.  I am thinking that this will be my first painting that I am going to sell.  Maybe.  For now, the girl sits, waiting impatiently for her skin tone.
