15 of 30 needs a name?

#15 of 30

brainstorming some portraits with animals

...studies for paintings...
My focus is really becoming attention to
color, but also line.  Because I love to draw
I'm always trying to figure out how to incorporate
the line into the oil painting.  Which probably
explains the ruff brush strokes.  As I finish up
this study and start the color I'll be looking
for ways to do that!

#13

I want to do 30 of these, hopefully before January
which is the next 30 in 30!!  

#12 of 30 in 30..hands!

I bought 2 dozen canvases today!  They were
so cheap, 11$ for 8 canvases!  They really are
cheaply made.  There are little cuts here and there
in the canvas which is good to know!  I'll stick
with the quality panels I usually use once I get
these 30 done!  Doing this is such good practice!

#11 30 in 30 continued...

Because I compare the colors to the values

when I paint it, I redid this so I could try and

get them closer to what they should be.  A
secret problem I always have and have always
had is making my female portraits look like a man!
  I have no idea why I do this!

#10 of the 30 in 30 challenge continued

I'm actually painting these studies on big canvases!

It's kind of interesting!
Once I get the 30 done and or start painting serious
enough to sell paintings then I'll only post the studies
here and I'll post the ones for sale on the other.
