the drummer, 35x37” as she looked at the end of my painting day today.
1:58 PM: following the work i did earlier, i went back in the the drummer. my challenge was the fact that it had become far too busy. by the end of the day yesterday, so i knew i was just going to have to leave it until today.
my first move was to mix up some pink oils in an old yoghurt container, consisting of titanium zinc white and two different reds. i applied it with one of my medium wide brushes, going around the figures i wanted to keep and painting over the ones i didn’t. yesterdays paint was, for the most part, dry enough to be able to pull that off without too much schmiring.
i have to keep it flat until the paint dries enough tomorrow to be able to hang it on the wall, which i did for about a minute to take a quick shot. you can see the resulting drops on the jumping skateboarder, which i like.

12:49 PM: i had a collage on paper sitting on my counter for months, and every time i glanced at it, i thought :”i’ve got to do morework on this.” so today i did. it may not be the final version, but it’s a whole lot better than it used to be!
