Today I painted a pair of tomatoes based on a 2021 post at PaintCoach‘s Patreon page. This was done on a 6×8 canvas panel.

52 Mini Paintings Challenge: Week #8
This is the week 8 painting for Jed Dorsey’s Mini Painting Challenge at Acrylic University. It’s based on a photo he took near the Tetons in Wyoming. He called it “Late Light Shed”. I enjoyed painting this one. As usual, it’s the 3 primaries, black and white, but I did “cheat” a little by using some of Liquitex Basics Blue Gray Blue “convenience color”.
52 Mini Paintings Challenge: Week #7
This is the week 7 painting for Jed Dorsey’s Mini Painting Challenge at Acrylic University. It’s based on a photo of the Swiss Alps. I painted this on a 6×6 canvas panel, with a toned background of a neutral brown (made with Red Oxide, Cad-free Yellow Medium, and Ultramarine Blue).

More Clouds
Since I’m on a cloud kick, I took some of my own photos of clouds, and am starting to paint some of them, focusing on keeping edges as soft as possible with acrylic paint. The blue sky is a mix of cerulean blue, ultramarine blue and some white. The trees were done in raw umber. 6×8 canvas panel.
Cloud Challenge #8 – Acrylic University
This painting is the final one of Dianna Shyne’s “Cloud Challenge” at Acrylic University. It’s called “Silver Lining”. The sky is a mix of Cerulean Blue (PB35), Ultramarine Blue (PB29) and white. I find the Cerulean Blue (at least by this brand — Charvin — to be quite transparent, which was unexpected. 6×6 canvas panel.
Cloud Challenge #7 – Acrylic University
This painting is called “Sunset Streaks” from Dianna Shyne’s “Cloud Challenge” at Acrylic University. I messed up because I spritzed the canvas panel ahead of time, and then I applied the blue over the wet orangey-yellow, which made a dark green rather than the blue I wanted. After it dried, though, the blue just didn’t work.. it needed to be a clean, clear blue.
Cloud Challenge #6 – Acrylic University
Catching up on Dianna Shyne’s “Cloud Challenge” at Acrylic University. After the stormy clouds, this one is of a summer day. I enjoyed painting this one, although I think that the clouds are a bit too uniform — my mistake, not a fault in the reference photo. 6×6 canvas panel.
Cloud Challenge #5 – Acrylic University
I haven’t been doing art for a few days now, as I’ve been under the weather. I’m still way behind on Dianna Shyne’s “Cloud Challenge” at Acrylic University. Today is a rainy day so it was perfect for painting the #5 cloud challenge, which is of storm clouds, and based on a photo the artist took. This was rather fun!
