Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Shadowy Corner"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY -  2/27/13
"Shadowy Corner" - 6x6in. -  click here to bid


I've been going through my San Francisco photos and honestly having a hard time choosing what to paint first! One of the things I specifically watched out for while there were shadows like this from one building onto another. I think it's so cool, especially on a corner. Originally I thought I would paint this on a larger canvas, but decided today it would help keep me loose to do it small. I'm really happy with it!

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "What's Left"

"What's Left" - 12x12in. -  click here to bid


We live! Not only did we survive the (not so) harrowing, (not so) snowy pass on the way to and from San Francisco, we also survived the two, 8-hour drives (thanks to podcasts!), the two, day-long hikes around the city, all the sleeping bodies we had to step over, and the (near) deafening fire-crackers from the Chinese New Year festivities. Through it all I did manage to get a picture or two. Ok, maybe 1,302, but who's counting. I am now thoroughly prepared and excited for my April workshop!

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Distractions"

"Distractions" - 8x8in. - click here to bid

Distractions
I have added 3 new pages of information from 3 more artists to my block ArtByte! Many thanks to everyone who has contributed. I've actually gotten quite a lot out of what everyone else wrote.

Tomorrow my husband and I are driving to San Francisco in order to do some research for my upcoming (April) workshop there. It's going to be a grueling task, I'm sure, wandering around the beautiful streets (in the sun no less!), taking pictures, exploring, eating good food, but these are the prices we pay for art. Our only concern is getting through the mountain pass there and back! IF we get there alive, I will post some updates on my Facebook page (which, by the way, I don't believe you have to be ON Facebook to see).

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Miranda, Bored"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY -  2/20/13
"MIranda, Bored" - 8x8in. - click here to bid


Last night I went to a figure session with my friends Sarah and Gabriella (I posted pics of us on my Facebook page). It was a 3-hr session and about halfway through I completely wiped the face. Our model, Miranda, is very attractive and my first attempt made her look like a monster. I wasn't happy with my second attempt either, until the last 20 minutes, when it all came together. Even though the result still doesn't do Miranda justice, I'm happy with it.

Fringe Lighting
My ArtByte on blocks
I mentioned earlier that around Christmas I went through a major artistic block. While I was in the darkest part my mom asked me if I had talked to another artist about it to maybe get some help or perspective. As I was finally working through the block I remembered my mother's question and decided to put together a collection of stories and tips from other artists (and myself) so that maybe our experiences will help other artists going through the same thing. I decided the best way to share it was in the form of an ArtByte. It's totally free, will hopefully get bigger over time as I receive more stories, and is called Collective Insight on Blocks.
