Limiting my palette.

Chips on the beach, 7/7/2014

I’ve been so busy for the last fortnight that I haven’t got around to uploading my paintings a day. Recently I have been experimenting with an extremely limited palette. This is with a view to making some images to be used on vitreous enamel signs to be used around St Leonards on Sea. Watch this space.

Nicky did the 5km Race for Life today, but it’s not too late to donate. Just click here to got to her donation page.

(That’s not Nicky running. I was trying to do the winner of the 5k, but only got a split second to capture her).

A busy week #APAD

Quite a busy time this week, but I’m continuing to make my daily painting, even if I’m posting them a bit late. Two of the images have been made from the train. It’s been important to me that they are made on the journey, relying on memory rather than relying on a photograph.

Lots going on this week. I’ve been loving the colours of the sea, and seem to want to keep painting the horizon. Oh yeah, and an amazing birthday trip to see the Matisse cut outs at the Tate Modern.

This week I had no theme planned, but none the less I seem to have made quite a lot of paintings about windows this week.

This week I’ve been experimenting with different drawing and painting Apps. It always takes a while to get used to a new program. Here are some of the better results.

Developing a more poster-like style of painting on the iPad

Each week I set myself a mini theme, which I usually don’t follow. For most of the week I’ve seeing how much detail I can leave out, but still have the subject of the image clear. I hope you think it’s working OK.
