An oil painting of a metal rubbish bin lined with a black plastic bag and a blue, dirty rag hanging out on the rim which is catching a beautiful and gentle light.

A picture showing the small painting, the tiny pochade box used to hold the support and create the work and some of the dirty brushes at the end of the painting session.

A close up of the oil colours to create the work. A reduced selection composed of black, white, red and an earthy yellow ochre.

Even the rubbish bin can be a source of mindful beauty #sketch #oilsketch #oilpainting #minipainting

I find that painting by observing the world around teaches a lot of what is going on inside. #stillife #stillifepainting #art #oilpainting #oilsketch

The beginning of a small tonal impressionist oil painting. It’s just a collection of blurry and messy shapes. In this case the subject matter is a pumpkin illuminated strongly from above. The background is a plain and dark gray.

The finished work next to the subject matter. A light yellow butter pumpkin over a piece of MDF. The background is a plain, dark, cool grey.

A close up of of the final Work showing more detail and brushwork.

Wild pumpkins growing crazy in my backyard?… ideal for my daily painting sketches! #stillife #stillifepainting #bodegon #oil #oilpainting #sketch #oilsketch #onepaintingaday

A small oil painting on panel just painted and still on the artist’s easel. It showcase an older gentleman with a long white beard at the doctor’s waiting room.

A wooden mixing palette with all the colours the artist used to create this portrait sketch.

A close up of the work showcasing in more detail the brushwork and colours.

I was thinking to call this sketch “The Waiting Room”. Everyone was on their phones but this gentleman was patiently waiting for his pal… his gaze fixed on the aisle he would be coming from, after a visit to the doctor’s room. #art #painting #oilpainting #oilsketch
