Such a lovely warm autumn day here, much too nice to work in the studio, went out to play!

That’s my painting on the cover of that book… 🙂
Munsell study: striped spheres
It only took a week… Munsell study, oil on panel. (An exercise in self-torture and careful colour mixing.)
Munsell study: earning stripes
More Munsell study after several weeks procrastination which included the sudden urgent desire to build a vegetable garden. (Also long overdue.) It’s amazing what can get done while procrastinating.
The models (made with plastic spheres, oil paint and cup hooks):
More Munsell: one striped sphere
A little bit of silliness. The Munsell striped spheres scare me so, instead of tackling the 6-pack, I painted one.
Then needing a break I tied up my lunch and painted that. Quick painting! (I was hungry.)
Pear shaped. Still.
Pear shaped
No need to waste angst on frustration (at not getting out to paint) when there’s a pear in the fruit basket…
Season’s greeting
Yesterday’s model.

Chroma study. Holding the hue and value while varying the chroma. 40 x 50cm oil on panel.
Munsell hues at max chroma, 40 x 50cm oil on panel. It’s still wet so it looks patchy but, I promise, it’s not. Now I’m going outside to paint, and I don’t care if it rains, this studio stuff makes my brain hurt.
The working set up:
Plein air oils
Saturday, early morning, in an industrial area near Perth. Both studies are oil on panel, 25x30cm. A cooler day which included the first clouds after many months of baking blue skies.
