Daily Paintings Sketch

 Jug and Lemons Sketch

This is a test to see what I can do with blogger app on the tablet. So far I can't see how to add an image.  Last night I drew a sketch of the jug with lemons from a different view. Took a photo using the tablet so its here in the camera's gallery.

Success

I finally found where to put in the image but could not regulate the size...  Also could not write under the image... only in middle... couldn't find where to format text to the side.

Conclusions are that I don't think I'll keep the app... better to wait a day and do it properly.... or prepare the text and publish on the go....in the browser on the tablet....

Daily Paintings  February  #32

Took a lot of photos of this simple jug this morning from many angles. Had 2 lemons freshly picked on the table so added them for a bit of interest.  The photo I chose had a stark simplicity of the jug against  the white wall, table and patterned tablecloth.   

23 x 29 cm

Oils on gessoed corrugated cardboard

Maybe I should have done it portrait format instead of landscape... have to learn to mix those subtle yellow browns... after wiping the jug down and trying again felt enough fiddling for today.... .

Daily Paintings  February  # 31

Ok... so what's with the 31... well 31 follows 30 and since I did 30 daily paintings in January I am continuing the numbering pattern....too 120 and counting. I did try doing 120 paintings from the result of a webinar with Larry Seiler  at wetcanvas.. but somewhere along the way ...need we say more!!! Decided this month to do more glass....until I get bored...the numbering will be only for the daily paintings and not my on going work that I do at my weekly workshop.

The reference is from WDE events at wetcanvas...

23 x 29 cm oils on gessoed corrugated cardboard.  I toned the canvas with a very dark grey green...done with a palette knife.

Would love feedback and constructive criticism....!!!!
