30 Paintings in 30 Days – Day 10
Here is something a bit different for today. This is a painted version of a drawing I did earlier in the week of Ardath Bey from the original movie of the Mummy. Instead of oil paints, this is a ink and watercolor painting on a Bristol sheet.

30 Paintings in 30 Days – Day 9
They’re back!! The Madballs have returned to the 30 Day challenge. This ball is named Skull Face (of course). This is another 5″x7″ ink, watercolor and oil painting on a gesso board, just like the other Madballs that I have done so far.

30 Paintings in 30 Days – Day 8
Today is a big day. I’m making the drive from the Bay Area into Hollywood to go to the Hollywood Bowl to see a live version of The Muppet Show! It’s very exciting and something I never would have thought possible. That’s why I did this painting today. It is a 5″x7″ ink and oil painting on a smooth artist panel.

30 Paintings in 30 Days- Day 7.
It’s a late night with the paints and turpentine tonight. Worked on three different pieces tonight but it started a little shakey. I had no idea what I wanted to do for the 7th painting of the month. But, I’m ok with this one. It’s another 5″x7″ oil painting but this time on a smooth panel. It felt good working on a smooth surface and this is the first painting this month using traditional oils and not water soluble oils.
This is a portrait of actress, Rachel Nichols.

30 Paintings in 30 Days – Day 6
Ink and oil paint on a linen panel. Today’s painting is a quick little 5″x7″ Marilyn Monroe portrait. I also thought I would bust out some of the linen panels I had. And I have been wanting to try these out for a while. And on first try I was not pleased with it. There is way too much texture for my taste. I figured they would be smooth panels but you live you learn.

30 Paintings in 30 Days- Day 5
Today I have an ink and oil painting of Charlize Theron. The oil paints that I have been using are water soluble so I can get thin layers of paint and still keep the ink drawing visible. I do like to paint with thicker paint but with the quick turnaround of painting daily I chose to use this technique. But, I think another reason I use it is because I like to use watercolors and this has a similar look to that.
And why did I chose to do a portrait of Charlize Theron? I wouldn’t say I’m a big fan of her. She is certainly a great actress and I’ve enjoyed some of her films. I would say I went with her because she has a timeless beauty and style to her. I also liked the high contrast in the lighting of the reference I used.

Decided to go back to doing a portrait today. This one fought me quite bit and probably took longer than I would like. I started the drawing last night and hoped to get some of the underpainting done but that did not happen. But it’s finally finished. Time to plan the next one.
Ink, watercolor and oil paint on illustration board.

30 Paintings in 30 Paintings day 3
Today’s painting almost did not happen which would be disappointing since it’s only the third day. But as my Bay Area friends know, it’s been stupidly hot these last few days. And being in a house with no air conditioning sitting under lights and painting does not come easy. But, I’m forcing myself to work tonight.
This painting is another Madballs painting. This lovely is named Aargh. It is a 5″x7″ ink, watercolor and oil painting on a gesso board. #madballs #aargh #30paintingsin30days #oil #painting #watercolor #ink #art #artist #painter #illustration #1980s #ilovethe80s #toys #80stoys
