30 days/30 paintings

by Bob Pennycook | Sep 3, 2017 | Acrylic paintings, Art, Landscapes, Paintings

Seriously, I’m not sure what I was thinking, but I signed up for Leslie Saeta’s 30 paintings in 30 days. I’ll get into the study early every morning during September and paint a small image to upload. And I’ll upload a week’s worth of...

Paint and Charcoal

by Bob Pennycook | Jan 31, 2016 | Acrylic paintings, Art, Art techniques, Landscapes, Paintings

Played in the studio yesterday to create this acrylic and charcoal landscape painting. I used charcoal, matte medium, white and black paint. Starting with a 12 x 12 canvas, I applied some gel medium with a palette knife to create texture. After the medium dried, I...

Some days you can be bang on; other days you miss the mark completely. This is a 20″ x 16″ oil. Below is how I started. I painted a background then started applying poppy shapes with no indication of scale or even composition. I wasn’t happy. So I...

Painting in the Driveway

by Bob Pennycook | Aug 18, 2015 | Art, Art techniques, Landscapes, Oil painting, Paintings, Videos

My studio is small. Chemical smells can fill the air quickly. I can ventilate for acrylic fumes, but scents from oils and their related thinners take control of my studio environment. So when I paint with oils, I paint outdoors, or almost outdoors. On pleasant days,...
