Playing Catch Up

Well it seems like I haven't been painting since I don't have many new paintings - but I've actually been painting a lot. Since I'm having a hard time getting anything done that I like, I decided to paint all around the process of painting. In other words, I'm experimenting. I've been creating lots of color charts. It started in my class at the Art Students League and that motivated me to do the same thing with the complimentary palettes. I've learned a lot about color mixing and have also learned about some of my tube colors - turns out some of them are mostly oil and filler - not much pigment! I usually use Grumbacher Pre-Tested Oils along with some Winsor and Newton, but when I run out, I've been supplementating with some other brands that aren't so great. I found out the hard way... Anway, I'm going to post my color charts and a few paintings.
