20 x 27

Oils on corrugated cardboard

Last jug image.... one lemon behind the jug... palette used  Burnt Umber/ Naples Yellow Pale/ white/Payne Grey. The greens were a mix of the yellows ,Payne grey and white.   Don't know if I succeeded with the lemon behind the jug.... the was also done with the -stroke leave it alone-  which is difficult on this type of format...

A small sketch pad with heavy paper that I am going to use as color cards.

Jug with 2 lemons # 2

I am very proud of myself... Thursday is always a very busy day.... coming home from babysitting... soon lunch... and then weekly shopping.... I was very tired but decided to do a painting even in the late afternoon.
So did a quick sketch on cardboard after lunch and started painting after shopping... It was getting dark so was hard to get the colors the way I wanted.

This painting was done as a the stroke challenge from DPW where you put down a stroke and leave it... no fiddling!!! Well I can't say I stuck to the rules 100% but there was certainly less fiddling.

I masked out an area on a dull purple acrylic toned corrugated cardboard format  27 x 20 cm it . Painted in oils with a palette knife... Photo was taken with my tablet cut off the borders. Will take a new one with all the borders. Its something different!!!

 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....
