Project: 12 + 12, 12 x 12’s  #17

Title-’Bing Cherry’

Third sequenced post, ‘Finished Painting’.

With still feeling relativity new to Oil Paints and learning their various proprieties (opaque’s, translucence’s, Glazing, etc.) and how I effectively paint with them, I was recently made aware of a grouping of oil colors listed as Radiant’s. For the last few paintings they have been used sparingly to gain a feel for them. I’m getting to like them. In this painting they are used predominantly in the three ’swirling’ designs on the left.

Next Monday the start of #18 in the 12 + 12 project.

Title-’Bing Cherry’

Second sequenced post, ‘The Worksheet’.

 

When selecting the ‘Doodle’ for this painting and the one for the previous painting #16, they were not selected for any initial similarities. It was only when developing the worksheets that some similar design connections became evident. As noted in the Posts for painting #16, a landscape scene worked its way into both worksheets. There are two other incidents of connection. The downward viewing position of the ‘face’ is one and second, the tapering shape of ‘upper arm/shoulder’ and those corresponding shapes directly to the left.

First sequenced post, ‘The Doodle’.

The ‘Doodle’ shown above for Painting #17 was selected and the ‘Worksheet’ completed during a two day stretch this past September, along with the previous #16 Design. As mentioned, in those previous posts, there are some design connections which are best described with next Mondays ‘Worksheet’ post.

Title-’Tidying Up’

Second sequenced post, ‘The Worksheet’.

As I mentioned in the last Post (the doodle), this painting, #16, and the next painting, #17, have connections besides both being worked on at the same time. Towards the center, left side is an open space that connects to the ‘creature’. In this space I toyed with the inclusion of a landscape scene. On the next design, for #17, I found that there was an area that might warrant a similar embellishment.

Next Monday, the ‘Finished Painting’.

The next two paintings in this project have a shared history. Both ‘Doodles’ (for paintings #16 and #17) I chose and then finalized both worksheets all within a two day span. Their connections also expand into some of the elements of their final design.

More on their other connections with next Mondays ‘Worksheet’ Post.

Title-’Cross Talk’

Third sequenced post, the ‘Finished Painting’.

One of the positive aspects of engaging in a project such as this, is experimenting with choices of colors. In particular, the colors used in the ’box’ areas. These soft pastel colors are an extension from a painting in the 8 x 10 ’Eleven Series’ I completed a few months ago. Pending on the subject matter, I expect this ’box’ and/or color choice will periodically find it’s way into other future paintings.

Next Monday, the start of the next Painting in the ‘12 + 12 Project’.

Second sequenced post, ‘The Worksheet’.

If you were to see this worksheet close up, you would see numerous eraser marks from a first attempt at this ’to be finished painting design’. Whereas the subjects from the ’Doodle’ were fine, the numerous embellishments added didn’t seem to work. So I erased 90% of the pencil work around the main subjects and started over. I’m much happier with this final worksheet version.

Next Monday, the ’Finished Painting’.

First sequenced post, ‘The Doodle’.

From the + 12 portion of this project, this ‘Doodle’ was selected by good friend and fellow artist Steve. Steve selected the circled in red, doodle no. 1. While pondering the possibilities, I noticed another doodle to the right. I Choose two parts, circled no. 2 and 3, that peaked my interest for consideration into the final design.

Next Monday, the ’Worksheet’.

Title-’Close Encounter’

Third sequenced post, the ‘Finished Painting’.

Pending the paintings narrative, time of day can play a part in how colors are chosen. In this case ‘dusk’. With that in mind I worked to keep the colors subdued to try match this time of day as best I could.

An item on the worksheet, the flower in the flower pot, somehow didn’t make it into the painting. There is a chance I might consider going back to the painting and putting one in, but at the same time I’m not too bothered with the lack of one. I could always reason that a flower is what is being sought.

Next Monday, the start of the next Painting in the ‘12 + 12 Project’.
