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 #160 - a day at the park

Today has been a productive day since I managed to go outdoors for painting and had an early start. After some consideration I refrained from doing anything plein air related since it still felt a topic charged with expectation of performance. After some time struggling, I managed to pickup the sketchbook and paint a bit. At the time I didn't like the end result, but now that I see it, I'm quite satisfied. I like the colors, and I also got the chance to try enhancing the local color-contrast something I hadn't tried much before.

After that I filled a sheet with characters and heads, and then did some heads on the ipad which I like for two reason; First I feel that I'm closer to cracking the head and secondly I managed to work with a thicker brush at a lower zoom level which is good since I always end up working pixelated.

Time for bed
