Paintbook 63-64

….the packaging said “64 sheets”…

…bastards were counting the end pages!…

…completely screwed my numbering system…

…couldn’t bring myself to use the covers…

…so smacked them with a collage of all the post it notes to self that go with the finished pieces I’ve worked on….

…there…

…will count the pages in Paintbook II before I start the numbering….

…oh….

…and here is a video run thru of the whole thing….

Paintbook 62

….oh crap….

…now it’s “official”….

…(officially on the list of things to paint bigger)…

Peggy’s Square

….even tho the entries in paintbook were only meant to be background colour guides for a larger, more complicated thing, these met with ooos and aahs in “some quarters” so I thought it wise to do them “properly” as a finished piece….

…there is another piece all laid out in there, but I’ll be working on big things for the foreseeable future so I’m not sure when I’ll get to it…

…likewise sketchbook is involved with something a little larger and for someone else’s publication so that source of posting might dry up for awhile…

…stay tuned though ‘cos I’m easily side tracked and may be back here sooner than I’m anticipating!….

Paintbook 57

…so I thought to myself…

…what if, instead of the colours radiating out from a point, I just jumbled them up….

…random like….

….hmmm…

…random like….

Paintbook 56

…the same as the last post…

…except pastel shades on a dark grey background….

Paintbook 55

…a bunch of squares…

…it’s a bunch, right?….not a flock or a herd or something?….

…(…committed a few of these background colour test patterns to paintbook… in case I mislay the colour pencil 10 minute jams I posted awhile back…my “studio” is a mess!…)….

Paintbook 54

…flies/eyes…

…..or, if you will, eyes/flies….
