Something completely different. I joined in with Laura Horn’s free Abstract Collage Creations and had a great time putting these 2 pieces together. I was wondering why I was using these colours and patterns and then spotted a couple of my tea towels out of the corner of my eye and realised what had influenced me. I’m clearly spending too much time in the kitchen rather than the studio. Never mind I’m sure it all fits together somehow. #abstractcollagecreations @laurahornart #markthistime2020 #lockdownactivities #mixedmediaart #abstractpainting #lizbaldin

More ‘Animals with Attitude’. Still trying out colour palettes. Need to do one without using turquoise next time but it keeps on barging its way into my paintings. #lovecows #animalsinacrylics #limitedcolourpalette #localartist #localart #lizbaldin

Back to animals now with a different colour palette following on from all my colour swatches. I just had to do another llama cos they have such sweet faces. More animals on the way. #lovellamas #paintinganimals #animalart #originalart ##llama #lizbaldin

This from Jamel Akim’s workshop yesterday that was online thanks to social distancing. It’s really all about colour and limited colour palettes. I had a go at adding the left eye which wasn’t really visible in the image we used and regretted it because it took longer to do that than the rest of it. Every day is a learning day. #jamel_akib #portraitpaintinginacrylic #acrylicpainting #acrylicpaint #paintingportrait #lizbaldin

Working out limited colour palettes. So I couldn’t settle down enough to paint today and decided to do colour swatches of my acrylic paints which revealed a whole lot of repeated colours and makes of paints that give poor quality results. I cut out the swatches, dumped the rubbish ones (the top row in the 2nd image) and then arranged them in tonal values (this took a while - some colours are sneaky and pretend to be darker or lighter than they really are). Now I can play around with some colour combinations. #colourpalettes #colourcombinations #creativeblock #lizbaldin

Here’s the full sized version so you can see just how messy it all is. The list of animal suggestions is growing. I’m going to be busy. #artforfun #animalsinart #lizbaldin
