Lemon Yellow
6″ x 6″ oil on Raymar canvas board
“Lemon Yellow”
Not having done any painting today, I was about to go to bed when I decided to use some left over paint from yesterday and spend only 30 minutes on a painting.
For the past week, I have been doing small paintings of faces. They will be put on a separate blog that will only be for faces. Some of the faces will be portraits and some will be caricatures. I have not been getting anything posted on this blog for a few days because I have been doing those face paintings. I am curious to learn how much practice or how many faces I will have to paint in order to be able to complete one in 30 minutes. Currently I am spending two to four hours on each one.
Doing this small 30 minute painting is the first step to my learning to time myself and complete a painting in 30 minutes. I have always found that practicing still life helps me in all areas of painting particularly portraits. Logically, if I can do a still life in 30 minutes I should be able to do a face in 30 minutes. This painting is priced at $30.00 plus $5.00 shipping.
