Day 2 Sept 2015 Corful journal page

One of the most fun things I like doing, is painting fast wiht left over paint for any other project.
I do not get to select a color, and I do not let my stong inclination of doping details.
That's a really good exercise for me! Because I like to get of my comfort zone and let the brush go fast with as little detail as I can manage.
Yes, there is such a thing as not knowing when to stop, and having too much fun lol

  1. What a great idea! I have never thought about using leftover paint to do a portrait. I will have to try this the next time I have a lot left from a project.

  2. When to stop? I know! I ask that same question over and over again.
    Left over paints are inspiring, and painting with them isn't so conscious. That's good. And you face is good, so expressive!

  9. That's a great idea, to use leftover paints like that. I usually use it just for making backgrounds in a sketchbook, but I really like this idea. And your portrait looks great with these colours!

  10. I also do this but with landscapes - it's a great way to use up left over paint. I love the colours you've used here - those aqua shades around her eyes - wonderful!

  12. I love the mix of colors in this face! The way you angle the face makes me wonder what is subject is viewing, almost as if they are daydreaming or looking off in the distance.
