Lovely sun today
Lovely sun today
New profile pic just dropped
Bloody impossible to paint when it’s so sunny. Everything just dried immediately
Another cold morning. Why do people live here
At the museum today
Waiting for a coffee
Smashed out five portraits to finish off the sketchbook. Can’t believe it’s finally done! Will probably do a couple more, larger portraits to get closer to 120. But for now shall go paint other things :)
Portraits 99-102! The hundredth felt like a big milestone. Only a couple of pages left. Am really keen to see how all this practice translates into other subjects
Portraits 95-98 from last night and this morning. Four sheets left!
Catching up on a bunch of paintings from the weekend. Portraits 85-94. Just six pages of my sketchbook left!
Portraits 83 and 84 from this morning. 17 degrees in the morning. Got to paint comfortably outside for the first time in weeks
Portraits 81 and 82 from this morning. Minoli says I’m rushing them…. Maybe. Only about 25 more portraits til I can paint something else 😅
Just finished the 80th portrait in the series! Can definitely see how far I’ve come as my average gets better. Here are portraits 77-80 from yesterday and this morning
Catching up on portraits over the weekend. Portraits 72-76
Portraits 70 and 71. Liking drawing straight with pen a lot more
Portrait 69 this morning. Slipped back into glazing by accident
Portraits 67 and 68 from this morning. Think I’m much better off using a few, stronger washes than glazing
Portraits 65 and 66/120. Wasn’t able to finish 65 in the park the other day because it started raining. Really happy with 66 today. Drawing straight in pen makes it feel fresher
Portraits 63 and 64/120. Not really happy with either. Overworked them both
Portrait 62/120. First self portrait of the project. Doesn’t really look like me.
Portrait 61/120. Another one from an old photo of Minoli. Think I’m getting a bit better at capturing her likeness
Portraits 59 and 60/120 in the new sketchbook. Already much preferring the 100% cotton paper. Half way!
58th and final portrait of the sketchbook is Minoli eating milk toffee. Just 62 portraits to go!
Portrait 56 and 57/120. Just one more to go and the first sketchbook is done!
Portraits 54 and 55/120. Three pages left! Going to finish it off today
