Once again Interactive acrylics. Native American chief...inspired by one of those historical black and whites. In this case "inspired by" means I tried to paint this with an old bristle round that was too big for the job. That forces you to be loose and forego detail. Not intended to be a portrait.

Once again Interactive acrylics. We went up for a few runs this morning...at the ski area. Just too beautiful to stay in the house and work. I had an idea for a painting that might show how skiing is the closest thing to flying. Much closer than in an airplane, helicopter or glider. I've tried those. Maybe a hang glider? This wasn't the vision, but it is about the joy of flying...or skiing.

You may have noticed the use of line in this picture. That's something the impressionist did, some of them anyway. It's a way to bring structure to a painting when you wish you had more value contrast, but that would ruin the feeling tone. Now everything is still a bit murky and dreamy. The bird is defined and separated from the background by the dark lines.

Paint is so twentieth century. I carefully arranged this still life paying attention to the lighting, the basic shapes, the angles, the color, etc., photographed it and manipulated the image until it seemed "right". Some of the color areas had to be changed by hand to make it work.

Self-Portrait, Finished

Detail

Continued from the entry just below. This is done with a very limited palette: Carbon black, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna and White. Looking at Rembrandt's self-portrait in a magazine I couldn't see any other colors. Seemed to work well enought...wouldn't have guessed in before starting. I can explain the hat. It's the closest I have to what Remmy is wearing.

Started this afternoon by going over the background with lots of Bt. Umber which had the effect of turning the black of the jacket bluish. Added Bt. Sienna and white for the lighter areas around the head. Face and hands are the same three colors. The hat is Bt. Umber and white.

Self-Portrait, first stage

Self-Portrait
15x12" Acrylic/Paper

Detail

Started with gessoed watercolor paper with a layer of red-orange. On the dry sheet I sketched in the face and hand areas, then began scrubbing on Carbon Black. White was added to make various grays for the flesh spots. I'm happy with it so far. Beginning to see a likeness, features are only suggested, brush strokes are loose.

Interactive acrylics were used again on this. As I get used to them I see they do have unusual characteristics. Wet into wet is a pleasure if you mist the surface every few minutes. Not a lot, just enought to replace the water that's evaporating. This pose was inspired by Rembrandt's.
