Just came across this one from 2019. From a trip to Southwick's zoo. Always had a soft spot for this one but apparently the market for camel paintings is somewhat niche. #southwickszoo #camelwatercolor #watercolor #watercolorpainting #animalart #art

Palette knife painting today of two anemones with Paul Foxton. Not my usual choice of tool but I do like it a lot #oilpainting #flowerpainting #floralart #floweroilpainting

Second session on some Paul Foxton roses. Maybe too much? Who knows. End of the first session for comparison. #oilpainting #flowerpainting #rosepainting #art

Yup - android is live. And windows is well on the way.

As a young scientist at BNFL in the ‘90’s, we had a color specialist come and advise us on what to wear as “professionals”, they said I was “an autumn” Turns out #chromamagic selfie mode with new magic auto palette shows I’m a 10R 6/2! Also clothing choices still v. poor! 🤣 #color #selfie

Testing the new ChromaMagic 3 . Mixes seem to be holding up well. A quick 30 minute pear. #chromamagic #oilpainting #stillifepainting #stilllife #munsell

Another Foxton pansy extravaganza. Next week something easier - recreating the Sistine Chapel #oilpainting #paulfoxton #flowerpainting #floweroilpainting #floralart

It's live! ChromaMagic 3 for Mac and iOS is out there. Always nervewracking this bit but I am extremely pleased with this. Many thanks to all involved especially James Cuff, Paul Foxton, and my lovely testers. #chromamagic chromamagic.com #artiststools #artistscolortools #artistsapp #munsell

Yes indeed!! It’s been a slog but I’m hoping people will love the new features. Fingers crossed the Apple gods smile on me

Tried to get more of the petal form in the light flower without sharpening up the edges too much. However, I did get the teeny tiny brushes out which I don’t usually do for the extreme lights. Probably done I think. #oilpainting #paulfoxton #flowerpainting #floralart #stilllife

A marathon @paulfoxton.bsky.social session today. Mainly a study in chroma and value changes. May do a second session. #oilpainting #flowerpainting #pansypainting #paulfoxton

Why do I do this to myself - all those windows!!! I hate windows. Our hotel in Cancun. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #cancun

A quick soup to nuts test this afternoon of ChromaMagic 3 with palette mode and mixing suggestions. Even if I say it myself I’m pretty happy. Photos are 1 . The quick sketch and the reference 2. The palette mode and reduced color reference 3. Mixing suggestions page. #chromamagic

I originally intended this to be a preliminary sketch for a larger piece. But after living with it for a few days I actually like it as is - scrappiness and everything #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolorpainting #watercolorcityscape #cityscape

A frantic Foxton Friday. Another tricky one. Lots of chroma changes in those petals. #oilpainting #rosepainting #flowerpainting #floweroilpainting #roseoilpainting

I put these four together to see how they'd look. Quite nice I think. Maybe the light background pink rose needs to be swapped out... #oilpainting

More Foxton fun. Surprisingly tricky. Needs at least one more pass. #oilpainting #flowerpainting #roaepainting

I was thinking this would be the last pass but after making the collage I’m not sure. Maybe push the softness and the sharpness even more? I am thinking it’s getting a bit too chocolate boxy #oilpainting #flowerpainting #roseoilpainting #floweroilpainting #boscobelrose #paulfoxton

Second oil session on these roses. Some somewhat dodgy drawing in places but I'm happy to leave it. Results of the first session in the coments. #oilpainting #oilflowers #rosepainting #floralart #flowerpainting.

I'm going back to the Paul Foxton pink roses oil painting today but thought I'd have a bash at the same subject in watercolor. I'm on a bit of a quest to incorporate the feel of oil painting into watercolor and this comes pretty close for me #watercolor #watercolorpainting #flowerpaintings

Fort McClary in Kittery, ME. Not something I'd usually plump for but I'm trying things that don't, at first sight, grab me. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #landscape #watercolorlandscape #kitteryme #fortmcclary

In a finishing off mood. Finally put the finishing touches to this brass pot and lemon (part of a Paul Foxton workshop). Again I only wanted to change a few things. #oilpainting #stilllife #oilstilllife #painting #paulfoxton

This is Pilgrim Church in Southborough MA. A sketch really and I'll need some thought on that tree. Like the shadows and colors though. Has promise #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorlandscape #landscape #southboroughma #pilgrimchurchsouthborough

Inspired by Paul’s free session yesterday I had another pass at these roses. There wasn’t that much I wanted to change. I always find these second passes hard. Either I want to change everything or almost nothing. #oilpainting #floralart #flowerpainting #rosepainting #roseoilpainting

Fast and furious rose today in Paul Foxton's Free Friday Live session. Drawn, mixed, and painted in about an hour!! #oilpainting #floralart #flowerpaintings #davidaustin #boscobel #paulfoxton

It's national lighthouse day today and I don't need telling twice. Really liked the subtle reds in the sky with this one. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #lighthousepainting #nationallighthouseday #landscape #watercolorlandscape

Something sketchy and exploratory. I like the overlapping buildings. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #marlboroughma #landscapewatercolor #landscapepainting #cityscape

Police are on the lookout for a short, blond haired individual, with a penchant for medium temperature porridge.

Mixing it up a little and a break from all those street scene windows. Self portrait today. At least those bags under the eyes are good to paint. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #selfportrait #watercolorportrait #watercolorselfportrait

Not giving up on these street scenes. Pass one (of probably many) on this Boston one. Trying to get the magic flowing... #watercolor #watercolorlandscape #cityscape #watercolorcityscale #watercolorpainting #watercolorwip #bostonma #bostonpaintings

Couple of small sketches. Simplifying and trying to get a balance between subject and sploshiness #watercolor #watercolorsketch

ChromaMagic version 3 on windows passing the usability test. Hooray!!

Some roses today in a fast and furious 90 minute session inspired by Paul Foxton's livestreams @paulfoxton.bsky.social Happy so far. Will take another pass or so at this. #oilpainting #roseoilpainting #davidaustinroses #flowerpainting #floralart #chromamagic

It’s Independence Day, but it’s also Friday Foxton Livestream Day! With @micheleclamp.com in the kitten room, watching @paulfoxton.bsky.social with the chroma and the magic puss, who’ve both just had lunch biscuits and are now taking a nap! #art #chromamagic #oilpainting #painting

Live stream. Note the David Austin roses, we grow them here in Massachusetts also! (“We” means @micheleclamp.com) www.youtube.com/live/N8EdrR9...

Something full of neutrals today. Another from the Paul Foxton stable @paulfoxton.bsky.social #oilpainting #stilllife #oilstilllife #chromamagic

Session two on this big ol’ green confit pot. Feeling a bit ho hum right now. Might feel differently in the morning #oilpainting #stilllife #oilstilllife

First plein air in a long while at the Artemas Ward house in Shrewsbury. Just manage to get this one out before I hit full sun. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #pleinair #watercolorlandscape #shrewsburyma

Kitten room has had to have the paintings kitten proofed….

Finally bit the bullet. Probably about 300 paintings I can’t bear to look at any more. Ready to become scrap. It’s been a tough decision

Prep for another Foxton extravaganza. Feel good about this. #watercolor #stilllife #watercolorstilllife #watercolorpainting

Layer 2 on a Foxton session. Still another one to go. Had to stop as I sliced my thumb open on the palette knife. #oilpainting #stilllife #oilstilllife

Achievement unlocked! I’m now a model for @micheleclamp.com as she tests her wicked fast, artist approved palette convergence algorithms on let’s face it, ‘very raw’ image data! Will feature in her new #ChromaMagic app update. This isn’t big AI corp bullshit. It’s just Michele. #art #painting

An unauthorized leak of the new #chromamagic version. With new fancy palette generation!

Second layer on a @paulfoxton.bsky.social Still life session. Of course right now I notice a nasty drawing error. Happy so far - will need another session. #oilpainting #oilstilllife #stilllife

They are being a 'big help'.

it’s the chroma puss! #chromapuss #cats #catsofbluesky

Foxton Friday daisies. Single session but pretty intense. The time flew by #foxtonfriday #oilpainting #floralart #flowerpainting

Second layer on a Paul Foxton setup. Probably done although you never know. #oilpainting #stilllife #stilllifepainting

I will get there eventually but this is not it. The ultimate Boston scene is still out of reach. Inching closer. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #bostonpainting #watercolorcityscape #cityscape
