Carol Marine's Painting a Day

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   4/10/17      Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "Separate the Reds" I've been experimenting lately with process. There are SO many different ways to go about painting. I've been using my island to ocean method for so long that I feel a little stuck with it. And I thought - if I go about things in a different way, will I get different results? And most importantly (for me right now), will I enjoy it more? So for this one I laid in a kind of loose block-in for all the objects, moving around quite a bit, trying not to put any hard edges in until the end, when I started refining. I think this is probably a common method, but not for me. I don't have any answers to my questions yet, but I will keep trying stuff.   Click Here to Bid  - 6x6in. - "Mosaic Apples" Here's another experiment where I tried to paint in a mosaic style. Honestly I kind of lost it after I painted the apples, but I like it anyway. ................................................................................................

Carol Marine's Painting a Day

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   4/8/17      Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "Orange & Blue Bits" I did a little camping the last few days, which re-filled my creative juice wells. Can you imagine these wells? I think of them as very colorful, but only when they're full. It makes me smile. : )   Click Here to Bid  - 6x6in. - "Colorful Cups" A lot of the paintings I admire have exaggerated colors. And while I love it, I find it is especially hard to achieve in my own work, as I am always so focused on getting the "right" color. So for this one I decided from the beginning that I would paint more by feel/intuition than by whatever my brain was telling me. And this is what I ended up with. I absolutely LOVE that it's so easy to experiment with these small paintings. I would say this is still the number one advantage of daily painting (ie. painting small and often). ................................................................................................

Carol Marine's Painting a Day

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   4/4/17      Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "Pink Dress" I spotted this gal in Germany last year. She really stood out. In fact I don't think there was one guy who wasn't watching her walk down the street.   Click Here to Bid  - 5x7in. - "Slice Off" I painted this as an example for this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge. I thought it would be fun and, well, challenging. The instructions say you can slice up anything, and arrange it any way you like. And you don't have to be a member to participate.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   4/1/17      Click Here to Bid - 8x8in. - "Waiting for Others" In the photo reference for this one (from in front of the NYC downtown library), the guy was looking right at me. And when I first painted them, they ended up both looking at me. So after some deliberation I scraped off both faces and re-did them with the idea that they would be facing slightly away. It's a tiny thing - subtle, (and not easy!) but I think it makes all the difference in the world. I'm much happier with it now!   Click Here to Bid  - 6x6in. - "Lemon in Blue" I used my little florescent bulb to light this one, which gives it a softer look than some of my still lifes. I still can't get over the fact that the plural of still life is lifes and not lives... In other news, I am grateful to Plein Air Magazine for the article about me in this month's issue. To be honest I feel like the title is a tiny bit misleading ("Paint Daily but Know When to Stop") but I didn't get to choose it. Not that I'm complaining! Also, I will be demo-ing at this year's Plein Air Convention in San Diego (end of April). If you're there, find me and say hi! ................................................................................................
