93 Hawaii colors
91 Aspens
Day 4. Color variation, value patterns, line patterns. This was so much fun to paint! 1/4 sheet
89 Barns horizontal version
Day 3. Our instructor added the fence to his, plus other details, and I decided mine needed a fence, too. 1/4 sheet.
87 Stitching trees
Day two. We learned and practiced line patterns. Here the tree trunks and fence "stitch" the foliage and ground together. 1/4 sheet.
86 Barn and snow
I took a watercolor workshop last week with Carl Purcell in St. Louis. It was lots of fun. Now if I can just put what I learned into practice. This was from day one. 1/4 sheet. Learning to paint values, not things.
81 Coming Storm, final version
Late in the afternoon of the Prairie Foundation's paint out in June, a strong storm moved in. I captured the colors in a very wet-in-wet application and took cover indoors. Later I went back and tightened things up a little. This is the final look.
Savannah 1
Went on a little sketchcrawl while in Savannah at the SCAD graduation. The textures of water and Spanish moss were a challenge here.
Charlotte airport
This is one of the nicest airports. I never mind layovers here. I sat in one of the many rocking chairs and sketched.
