Slops of brightness for WOYWW

I've done quite a bit 

considering it's school holidays.

Here's a pic of the desk area right now

Just my glasses on the desk but

lots on my easels.

I had a scary but fun time

inking up the blue canvas

you can see my post on it

here, if you want a look,

and here is the one on the table

in quick stages

 Gesso mixed with paint in a mid tone

Slop it anywhere on the canvas,

that bit's easy!

It will be two lorikeets and flowers

(ho hum, not again!).

This is the inky mess up close

It will be the jellyfish one

and I can see jellies in the background already.

Today in class I slopped brightly

coloured texture paste onto my

pelican picture.

Talk about heart attack material.

I was hyperventilating and jumping around,

then next minute I'm holding my head.

It was not a good look for me or the painting.

 This is before attacking it

 here it is slopped and blopped.

I took the photo with my daggy phone 

so the colours are not great.

It's really bright in real life which makes it

even more scary.

I'm doing a practise in tonal painting

so rather than copy the photo's colours

I'm replacing it with colours in the same

tones (well that's what it's meant to be).

  It's soooo hard!!!

Goodness knows what this will end up like

but I'll push on regardless.

Why don't I just stick with what I know??

I must be mad!!

That's my nutter of a desk for this week

now why not pop over to 

Julia's Stamping Ground

and see what the slightly more

sane people have on their desks this week.
