Continuing the Theme



Here are two more sketches.  Both done in under 30 minutes.  I spent less than 10 drawing each, and finished the painting at abut the 20 minute mark.

No these aren't museum quality, but it is forcing me to draw more, and also to think more about where i put my paint.  Since I am trying to paint in such a compressed time, I have to conserve my paint strokes.

I don't know if I mentioned that I have switched to painting with a travel palette.  Having a palette with only 12 colors on it actually makes it easier than having one with 24.  I guess I have to think less, or maybe I have to think more.  Not sure.  do know that having all 24 colors I just used to grab the exact (or nearly) color I wanted to use.  With only 12, I now have to mix my colors a bit to get colors, and I think the mixing of colors makes the paintings a bit more alive.

Well, they are what they are, enjoy.
