Sarah, good for you for painting every day!! Hooray!! How big are these?
Black? Interesting, the color looks great,.. reminds me of the painter, Paul Gauguin..
I was thinking about bringing out the oils today, I am experimenting with some textures in this little painting/ study Im working on,.... and in comparison to the roughness of the acrylic against the wood grain I was thinking of oils.. But, I don't know much about oils.. only oil glazes... I was looking for my gloss medium to paint on top or in certain areas... anyway, I really like your painting... I'm trying to paint or sketch a little every day too...
These paintings are only 5x7, so they are pretty quick to do before I go into work. I think oils are great for painting on wood grains....lately I don't use much in my oil...I just kind of mix my colors before hand and lay the paint on really thickly...maybe just using a tiny bit of painter's medium.
Cool stuff... and a good routine. Have you ever seen those "painting a day" blogs?
good call Tyler - I found this one the other day, I thoought it was really interesting - such a good idea and a way to practice painting techniques and stuff without worrying about composition and subject matter and all that junk - http://cougarpeakaboo.blogspot.com/
Here's the painting-a-day blog that i was thinking of... http://duanekeiser.blogspot.com.
He was linked from the Cougar Peak blog. And here's a great article from about it....

I really like both the Cougar Peak blog and the Duane Keiser. It's really inspiring to see these people paint everyday. :)
