A plan to achieve my goal

by Retoyman


It's been over a month since my last painting post.  I have not forgotten my project, but in fact I have thought about it daily.  I have initiated  a new organizational method to achieve my goal and work on several small paintings at once.  I want to thank those who have purchased my paintings last month and I am looking forward to posting more paintings by the end of this month.   Keep checking in I look forward to hearing from you.

No 5 of 4000 Woman facing away with Slip dress and heels

No 5 of 4000.  Same color combinations as the last three.  I reversed some tones and used a flesh tone for the background and grey tones for the skin and outfit.  Began applying three tone under painting in cool and warm to start the painting.  I really liked the results so far and want to pursue this method further.

2 of 4000- Lincoln as Hipster

by Retoyman in ,


Number 2 of 4,000. Lincoln as Hipster. Tried some new painting techniques today. One thing I do like about this project is that it's helping me try out ideas in Acrylic. Some things like glazing do not work as well as I would like, I will have to try new methods for future paintings. Item No. 320309113223

The beginning

by Retoyman in


Hello, welcome to the beginning of my project to paint 4,000 8.5 x 11 to 11 x 14 paintings by the end of 2009.  

It's a tall order, but I am sticking with the goal.   At the start of this project I will limit my pallet to Red, White, and Gray.  My subjects will be fashion, super heroes, science fiction, Japanese actresses, and Abraham Lincoln.  

Each painting will be posted and posted onto Ebay for sale.  Part of this project is sell every one of the 4,000 paintings I make.  I hope you enjoy my sense of humor.
