Another trip to Bishop

On location paintings from Bishop California this last weekend. 

Plein Aire Paintings

A collection of on location watercolors from this winter. 

Most images from the eastern sierras a a couple from Red Rocks state park in Nevada. 

The first painting has some interesting texture due to paint freezing while applying washes...

Size varies from 11 x 14 inches to 12 x 16 inches. 

Some new paintings

A card..

 

A valentines card. Been a while since the last update. 

Will get on it soon. Have a lot of new images to post. 

Workshop drawings.

Seadragon

Playing with textures. I have to say I really like the Daniel Smith Watercolors.

Watercolor and Oil wash.

"Herreper"

Still playing around with the Yupo paper. I have realized erasing on the surface will later lead to resistance to water media.. I had my suspicions. Regardless; it is quick and mostly enjoyable to work on. 

Some more demos from work..

We go through a variety of different techniques in my watercolor class. 

These are some approaches. 

Some studies from school.

Some drawings from class.

 We went to union Square today to work on location. Talked about wraparounds and following form with tone. 

A 20 minute drawing from last weeks workshop.
