Day 9 - Paint Tubes

Day 9 of 31.  Having fun.  This is almost finished.  Am going to leave it for a couple days.  Painting in Makawao tomorrow morning and in Keokea on Wednesday.  Expect to finish it on Thursday.  Will post a better pic then.  Thank you for visiting -   #stradaeasel

This has been a fantastic impetus for me to regain a great painting routine after several months needing to be caregiver for several family members.  Everyone is fine - but it's been tough to be away from the paint.

Day 8 Eggplants

Was tough to get to the paint today - wonderful family weekend.  Just squeezing this one in...

Day 7 of the Strada 31 Challenge

A day at the beach with my boys.  Mixed media study done with pens, water soluble pencil, watercolors and casein in small Moleskine watercolor book.  Moody ocean.  Wonderful to be outside after all the rain we've had.  #stradaeasel

Day 6 of Strada 31

Nope - didn't finish.  Fixed some drawing problems and made progress.  Had more fun than yesterday if that's possible.  Painting on the beach tomorrow. Ah......  can't wait.  This palette is a bit unusual for me - so many colors.  A warm and cool of each primary plus a transparent red oxide.  Strada 31. Day 6. #stradeasel

Day 5 Paint paint and more paint!

Okay - So I'm already tired of painting tiny little card fronts.  This is 10 x 10 and Sooo much fun!  Hopefully will finish it tomorrow if I can wait that long - perhaps after dinner.  Fifth day of the Strada 31 paint challenge. This is just what I needed!  #stradaeasel

Day 4 - Tomatoes

Day 4 of the Strada 31 day paint challenge.  So I took the few left over colorful tomatoes and put them on top of the red ones.  Most of the purple ones had been consumed but worked a little purple in there.  This was a fun study for a larger painting.  Will need some more multi-colored tomatoes from Mana but they were all out last night....  To be continued...   #stradaeasel

Day 3 of Strada 31 paint challenge

Day 3 of Strada 31.  So - I finished my value sketch and notan and my darling daughter ate most of my still life!!!  Ugh...  She has a bunch of special needs and cherry tomatoes are like candy to her - so how can I fault her - cute as can be!  So here's the drawing - loved these too - they were the multi-colored ones.  Will get more for tomorrow...  #stradaeasel
