day #365 - the end of an era

I thought I was on top of it; I had finished early and was looking for a movie to watch already 3 hours ago. And I don't know how time went by. A phonecall, some networking studying, some online shopping and here we are, already past the time for an early movie. Regardless, today is a special day. The blog is over! I finished 365 days of daily painting and recording it, whatever that means. A big part of the process I will have to keep doing mainly for myself. Perhaps taking daily photos of my work and saving it on some folder. This has provem useful many times when I trying to date a piece I've been working on. Also making a small diary of today's achievements. It's still useful. But this will be done for my eyes only. I also don't know if I will be continuing my obsessively daily painting. How would life be if I had days off? Now for example that I'm moving out and I have to daily chores that until now were completely taken care of, perhaps I'll allow my

day #138 - Quiet

So today has been more productive. The day started early. I started learning a bit about burnt umbre, burnt sienna and raw umbre and then decided to play with these two colors and their variants. I enjoyed it a lot; While I haven't been able to find some actual difference in hue between the two and how the mix, burnt sienna is far more saturated/vibrant/full-of-chroma and light than burnt umber; they mix the same way however. I've produced some very nice earthen-blues and greens!
Since I finished early, I decided to do something with burnt sienna and created the interesting composition with the llamas and the Sword & Sworcery pixelated style. I like the palette a lot and the texture of the animal's hide.
Later on I did some quick studies of my grandfather on the iPad; using the ipad felt completely boring. Lot’s of interesting stuff. Mostly I'm satisfied with my color-mixing efforts. Time for bed.
