Tuesday 1 February 2011





Course work: Started painting the second apple for Stage Two of Project Two: Solidity.



Reading and theoretical studies:



Antoine Terrasse Bonnard: The Colour of Daily Life

Thames & Hudson, London, 2000

Pp. 13-26



Sketchbook work: A colored pencil sketch based on a portion of a Matisse painting (Laurette in a Green Dress), a pose roughly comparable to the sketch after Bonnard that I did recently. Both artists used a highly simplified method of facial construction, but that of Matisse was almost comparable to an African mask (perhaps unsurprising, as such masks were exciting a good deal of interest among artists of the era).







Time today: 2 hours 36 minutes
