You guys.. This new table is, legit, the best thing ever.
Not quite sure what time I started pouring but I didn't get on to it til late and just as well cos I managed to whip out 10 paintings today.
10.. 🤣🤣🤣
And they're not too bad if I say so myself.
I was feeling experimental today and decided to use new colour combinations, mostly to give black another go, so I decided to "recycle" (paint over a few canvases) just in case it went pear shaped I didn't want to waste any canvases.

Notes
- I was very relieved to see the cells back in my pours today. I think the new table has brought me luck. 🍀
- I'm liking the inclusion of black and the contrast it makes against the white, and vice versa with the white on black.
- Today saw a very restrained me in terms of colour usage and I gotta say I liked that too. It is a bit odd to see a majority black/white table since my style is a bit on the rainbow side so I'll probably be back to my usual tomorrow... 😂
- Pour 9 reminds me of a planet.. 🛸
- Again, I don't know how long I was pouring for but paintings 1-7 were almost dry by 8pm last night. Painting 10 might take the longest considering the canvas bowed in the center and there's a pool of paint there.
- Don't know if this is the norm but most of my pours are dry the following day, afternoon the latest.
And that's it for Monday's epic pouring session!
Tuesday should be interesting. I'm thinking of painting a triptych for the master bedroom in the room's feng shui colours, hopefully everything goes to plan 🤞
