You will know by now that I am a teacher at heart. But I am also an artist. I am considering doing one small painting a week from one photo. By the end of the year I will have 52 paintings, drawings, collages, etc. based on that photo.
The last time I did this I used a photo of a barn which had flowers around it. I did at least ten paintings of this barn, changing colors, making it mostly dark, then mostly light.I moved the barn around, and then the flowers. I changed the seasons, I changed my painting style,
and, well, you get the idea.
I kept them a quarter sheet or smaller and used several brands of paper. If you haven't tried yupo paper, now's the time.
Doing 52 paintings, however, is a little more daunting. I am going
to choose a photo with lots of things going on in it. I think it will be
a city scene with lots of people, cars, signs, etc. I'll let you know when I decide.
Hope you are painting. Judy Blain
