Day 1: Sketch

  • It takes time to set up a still life. Actually I should have said this took more than 2 days, because some days in between, I would just sit by my table and rearrange objects and sketch and plan for a half hour here, a half hour there. But OFFICIALLY, I didn’t start drawing until…

Day 2: Paint

  • Started at 7pm on W night, 7/13, set up materials and did an unboxing of box #2, then started painting at 7:33, ended 1:30ish. The painting itself only took til 11:40, but then I used the leftover paint to make a portrait (see below) til 12:58, and then cleanup and puttering around took me to 1:30 ish.
  • Made a couple major last minute changes: thinned the squash’s right side, and bigger than that, changed the shape of the shadow on the bottom, after I’d already filled in the mod shadow. That delayed me a while.
  • Listened to audiobooks the whole time.
