ONE HOUR STUDY - 'Teensie'
by Claire Beadon Carnell


One Hour Study - 'Teensie'
Oil 6 x 6

I decided to do a timed study and so I gave myself
exactly one hour to paint my cat. Needless to say, I
had to take some photographs to work from...if her eyes
are open she is usually moving, and when she is
not moving she is almost always curled up somewhere
warm and comfortable, sound asleep...

It was interesting - even though I could have worked
this more, I stopped - keeping to the time limit.
Definitely made me make some decisions very
quickly!

On oil painting in an hour? Wow, that's ambitious. Teensie is so cute and friendly looking, I think I can hear her purring away!

I've always wanted to try a timed painting, but I'm afraid I would be tempted to cheat. LOL Yours really turned out well. He's a cutie.

Thanks Bertie and Pat. Yes, Pat - it was really hard to stop painting and walk away because I could see so much more I wanted to do.
