Art Every Day Month, day 24

3inkchalkportraits - 1

For this one I used the exact same reference photos in the same configuration as my piece from two days ago. I almost ever do this, but I figure there’s probably a lot to be learned from repeating an exercise so closely. For this one I wasn’t happy with how faint the white ink was, so I augmented it with some other white materials – first a water-soluble wax pastel, and then a big stick of white charcoal.

  1. Not sure what happened, but I left a comment and it didn’t show up. I mentioned it was sometimes good to work in a series because you learn what works and what doesn’t. It also helps to know where you need to change things or improve a process.

  2. That makes for a great painting! Message in it for me is not to let the present be squeeze out by too much pondering about the past and fixation on the future. You’ve certainly captured that dilemma! Thank you so much for sharing your course lessons and exercises. It’s a great series!
