Yael's Pot
20 x 22 oil on cardboard
only if I push will I get over the fear barrier
only by painting will I learn
only by painting will I experiment and play
January my birth month
14 my birth day
I decided the first week to try to go to the basics.... and what better way then using monochromatic tones. This first painting 20 x 22 cm done on card board with one coating of gesso. Worked with oils and palette knife.... one thing I noticed on the gesso was that my strokes weren't going on as smoothly as I wished... so I may put on a tone of diluted paint next painting. Grays where my own mix... french -ultramarine + raw umber.
a few of my own rules "... not EVERY painting has to be a masterpiece!!!!" "no matter what POST....."
" don't look at other posts before you post"
I was completely not satisfied with this painting...so today scraped and wiped most of it off... hope to repaint tomorrow morning with the pot in morning light from my window....

Hello, early bird! What a great idea, to work on the fundamentals to begin with. I love your "rules," and I'll consider following all but the second! Happy New Year, and so glad we are in this together...
Thanks. It was mess, I know. Hope today will be better. So many great works!

I think this was a successful painting but I also understand looking at a finished painting and scraping off all of the paint. I've done that more than a few times myself. You and I share the same birthday! Hope you have a happy birthday tomorrow and good luck with the challenge.
Thanks Nancy and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you too... Is that on my profile...???? I guess that added to the stress these past few days....
