This challenge from Leslie Saeta was to post the my process of painting. I never sketch my images I basically start to paint.
1. I start out just blocking in the whole shape of whatever I am painting using the middle tone but in this case just painted in some white to fill in the shape
2. next I start to fill in the areas with various tones. Since this is a black and white I use Mars Black, Titanium White.
3. Finally I start to soften all the tones and added a dew drop. Probably blend a bit more but for now this is it.

This is a cute little boy I did a portrait of called curious I did this one to enter into the Women’s Art League 80th competition in April. I very much enjoyed doing this one.

Cold, Rainy, icy, and snowy day. Pick one. Thought i should post the underpainting of this before I start to add color. I think this might be the last small one I do for a while. I will move up to some larger sizes. The braids were a bit tricky still don’t like them but maybe if I go down a shade darker. Underpainting is using Mars Black and Titanium White. Ready to Glaze

This little boy I painted the other day. I think small children playing or doing what they do are the cutest. This is day 29 or the 30 day challenge. I didn’t quite make the 30 painting. This is done in acrylics I used Ultramarine Blue, Grumbacher Red, Cad Yellow Medium, Titanium White, Hooker’s green and Mars Black

I wouldn’t call this a finish piece of work but you get the idea of my steps. i have 2 commissions I am working on and don’t have time to finish but didn’t want to keep my readers hanging. I Think the only painting I need to finish is the wall not sure about the crack may change that to something else. Also trying to get use to my new computer. I have gone over to a Mac and really don’t know a thing about them. Also Got Photoshop CS6 a lot of things to learn.

This is a challenge at Daily Paintworks (DPW) I supplied the challenge then finally painted the shoes. Been very busy and so my painting is slowing down a bit but will get back to it when the holidays are over. These were my son’s Buster Brown loafers. Since he out grew shoes faster then you can imagine I started to wear them and loved them. He asked about the slot in the shoes and I told how they were called penny loafers, then I added the pennies to the slots. I think it embarrassed him when I wore them but hey what else are we here for.

Today I am posting a work-in-progress (WIP). I am painting an abstract of an old car image provided by Darrin O. Swait. I decided to do WIP because I am painting images larger than the usual 9 x 12 or 6 x6. My process is to do an under painting in black, middle gray and white, then I gaze over it in color. There are a lot of rust spots on this car so I am using a sponge to paint the rust. There is still a lot of the area that is not done in the under painting. But that is my next update.

Not sure what I am calling this yet. I just like the look of it. Colors Purple, white, magenta, black, Ultramarine Blue, Cad Yellow Medium, Hooker’s Green, Cad Orange and Titanium White. The first quote is how I am feeling today. Like a bubble getting ready to burst.

Projects at school are keeping me busy. Most of them are 18 x 24 and taking a lot longer to paint than the 6 x 6. The Recent painting is called Medusa’s Curse.
The colors used in this one are Magenta, Hooker‘s Green,Burnt Umber, Titanium White and Mars Black. The Figure is done using modeling paste and sgraffito to carve in the basket and the other shapes the within paste.
