Paint Every Day, January 2022 Completed!

9×12 and 11×14 Acrylics, January, 2022.

Here are all the January paintings. Some portraits, some landscapes, some horses, one donkey. One failed cityscape. A pretty good month. I have completed the Paint Every Day in January for 4 or 5 years, with varying degrees of success. I think 2022 is the first time I actually painted all 31 days.

I hope to compile a retrospective of 6 or 7 years of trying to learn to paint with acrylics in the next month or so. It is time consuming! To find all the images and resize them and get them organized. But I always enjoy seeing other artists’ progress.

In the meantime, here is my set of paintings from January 2018:

9×12, 11×14 and some 16×20 acrylics paintings, January, 2018

Mostly dogs in 2018, with a handful of other animals and one almost-kind of horse, in the middle of the top row. I have improved! I just wish I had been more consistent, as always. I have started to paint over some of these. Though, the bat and panda found homes, and the beagle in the bottom row is probably going to stick around.

Thanks so much for dropping in! If you’re doing art projects this year, let me know so I can check them out. :-)

Paint Every Day, January 2022

Well hello! (If anyone reads this! Who knows!) My last post was April 2021, at which time I was doing an online art class. It went.. ok. I discovered I do not like to paint with acrylics on a wood panel. Perhaps I was not doing it right! Eh. It’s ok not to like it.

Here we are in the middle (toward the end?) of the Omicron portion of the global pandemic. And I am once again painting every day in January.

Although I’ve still got a few days to go, here are some horses I painted this month. I am new to painting horses. It went pretty well!

Three horses, acrylics, January 2022

And here are some portraits I painted this month. The ones on the right are definitely more successful than the ones on the left.

Four portraits, acrylics, January 2022.

And here are some landscapes I painted this month. I am new to landscape painting, and used free reference photos from unsplash.com. It went pretty well with the sunlight and atmospheric perspective and a cute little (lopsided) car:
