Course work: A second layer of paint on the background: my intent had been to make the background more uniform, but in fact I made it less so.



Reading and theoretical studies:



Christopher Butler Modernism: A Very Short Introduction

Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2010

Pp. 56-79



Sketchbook work: Modifying an introductory exercise in Discover the Joy of Acrylic Painting (Jacqueline Penny, North Light Books, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, 2002) to employ black, white, and yellow ochre, I did some experimentation with color mixing on the paper as well as on the palette. It is clear that I have a long journey ahead. Since my sketchbook paper seems to tolerate acrylic fairly well, I plan to do further similar exercises.

Time today: 1 hour 7 minutes (25h12m)
