Day 7 - Terrys' Daily Painting

Went to Rancho Cucamonga - Lake Guasti

Had alot of fun. Sue brought her grand daughter, D. D. is a fisher person. So, in between painting, Sue was busy putting worms on the hook.

Hey Sue, where did D put the leftover worms? Hope they are not crawling around in your car.

Day 6 - Terrys Daily Painting

Laundry Day Paintings.

I decided to do laundry today. While doing laundry I found five palm trees out of the window of the laundromat. They were all different. So I wanted to explore how their shapes were different from each other. Alot of people create trees that look so similar.

By paying attention, I studies what made each palm tree unique.

Live, love and paint.

Day 4

Here's a picture of the mountain from my back yard. Still have some work to do.

Day 5 - Terry's Daily Painting

2 Value Studies.

At first I said, how lame, doing value studies. Copying from the masters. Boring. And then I learned a bunch of stuff, about pushing the value and building depth.

I also learned alot more about composition and working in 3 values. About creating eye paths and using values to tell the viewer where to look, and when.

Day 4 - Daily Painting - TERRY

Sketch & Wash Drawing

I decided to give my sketch and wash pencils a try with my Aquabee paper. This is the second time that I've used it. I can see that there is going to be a learning curve. Probably within two weeks, I'll start to like using them.

Sunset Painting

I decided to do a fast painting at Sue's house. Again, using my new color palette, I can see that there is going to be a learning curve.I rather enjoyed painting the mountains, and the little bit of shrubbery in the middle. It required alot of thinking. I wanted to push it into the background, and yet, still make it noticeable.

Live, love and paint,

Day 3 - Terry's Daily Painting

Sticking to a Commitment!

This is tough! To be consistent every day. To do just a little bit of art, is difficult. My excuse for today. Well, I was enjoying the sander. I'm working on sanding the paneling in my van. Never sanded before, was scared of it. But now I love it. Going to be sad when I'm finished.

Went to Sylvan Park Today.
Had about 30 minutes, so I did a quick sketch. I couldn't believe that I forgot my water filled Niji brush. all 3 need to do a watercolor painting is 3 items. Paint, brush and paper, okay and water. How could I forget my water. I really enjoy the trees in the local parks.

Live, love and paint,

Terry

Day at the beach

Susan at the beach pic turned out blurie. Destany is here from Fargo!

Daily Painting - Day 2

Terrys Report:

Not time to do much today. I forgive myself though. I was highly productive yesterday.

Mixing Colors into Colors.
My regular palette consists of 10 colors. However, by doing slow little steps, I can come up with hundreds of variations by just mixing these few colors together slowly. I usually try to blend one color into another at least 7 times.

Last Weeks Drawing:

I thought that you would appreciate a copy of the drawing that I did at your house. I really enjoyed it there. Will have to show you the painting of the tree I did.

Terry

Working with colors

Well I did it I see some clouds.

Fancy free

This is what I did today, and alot of getting ready for Destany. I'll try to add another one I did earlier.

Daily Art - Day 1

Here's What I did Today:

First, I did a bunch of studies.
Practicing my brush strokes. I did four of each

a flat wash
Gradiated Wash and
Variegated Washes

So, Then I did a mini painting -
6 X 8 -
I was practicing lifting clouds, and working with wax sticks.

So, that was my afternoon.

For the evening, I decided to use my Aquabee paper.

I need to learn how much water to use. It originally started out as a value study. Then I decided to color it in.







This last painting is done on Arches 9 X 12.

I didn't have time to put in a bunch of the details like I did in the above painting.

This is the mobile home that I enjoy to paint. It was Ednas'. A real lovely lady. All in all, a real busy day.

Dailt painting-Day1

Day 1 this is what I painted.

Daily Painting - Day 1

Okay - First I did a Color Chart

Which takes hours, but I wanted to be clear on what my new colors would looks like.






Second - A Value Chart

This should be the easiest exercise for most people, but I struggle with it.

I'm very heavy handed when it comes to paint.

Third - I created a Value Study for my next still life.

After that I transfered my drawing onto two paper canvases, and started glazing the apple paintings. I'm up to 4 layers. Trying to remember a bunch of my old techniques.


So yeah, tomorrow I should have TWO paintings finished with my study.

It really is a good study. It's easy. Good shadow placement on my set up.
