Three a Day 1

Painting three paintings a day. Here's the live painting video and results of my first day.

The series is called “Three a Day” and follows Ron Throop @ronthroop who’s been doing this recently too. Ron intends to keep this up for twenty years, averaging 3 per day, and therefore having over 20,000 paintings to show for it. I’m also copying Ron’s idea of sticking to the same format. Ron’s going oil on 24 x 18 inch, I’m going acrylic on A2 size paper 170gsm. Ron and I are both members of Black Ivory, have made collaboration paintings together under the name Jonron and are working on FREE ART FREES ART. Ron in New York USA, me in London UK. Join us on our weekly video podcast: The Black Ivory Podcast, every Thursday 7pm UK time on both Ron’s Substack and on my Substack If you miss the live version, we upload them all on to YouTube afterwards. There’s a playlist of all episodes on the front page of the Black Ivory website. The three paintings for day 1 are called Woman by a Fence, Woman Grabbing a Cloud and Sailor and Birds:
