The Hen – Watercolor Sketch & Process Shots
A newish watercolor sketch and a few process shots.
First step, pencil sketch (chicken scratch?)
Laying down watercolor paint. I purchased a new set of watercolors recently that I’ve been beyond happy with. Highly pigmented, affordable & in pans! I have a fairly strong dislike for watercolor paint in tubes.
More layers of paint.
A close up. I used a bit of colored pencil, the paper lends an interesting texture.
The final piece, approx 8.5″x11″
Goldfishing
Goldfish in water[color]. Not sure if this is finished yet. Process photos after the jump.
Argyle Space Whale
This little space whale painting was submitted for the ArtPM Challenge at Buoy Gallery in Kittery, Maine. (If you’re local to the area, the show opening is tonight!)
January Acrylics
January already? I’ve blasted through any resolutions I might have had. Except for making more time for painting + drawing. I have lots of acrylic paint and large canvases hanging around my studio that I’ve been trying to work with. I’ve realized two things: I prefer smooth papers and boards to the texture of canvas & while acrylic paint was once my favorite medium to work with.. I think that might be changing.

Fields Watercolor Study
I’m not ready to concede that it’s almost winter just quite yet — so here’s a new autumn landscape painting & a few photos of the piece while in progress. Read on to see more.
Morning Coffee
Watercolor on coldpress paper. 6″x9″ish
Detour – New Orleans
I took a quick, last minute trip with my sister to New Orleans last week. The trip was rushed & we missed a connector flight out of D.C (which was what I would call.. a character building experience). Although I wasn’t there long & only really experienced a bit of the French Quarter – I was able to snap off a fair amount of photos.
After seeing Bourbon Street (where most of the Mardi Gras celebration centers around) on a Monday night, I can confirm that you could visit this area at any time of year & on any day of the week and still get your fill of the party atmosphere.
This set is a quick watercolor study inspired by a photo I snapped on Bourbon St during the day. The first photo was taken early evening (8pm-ish?) on Bourbon St.
Fortune Cookie Wisdom
Exceptionally great advice from a cookie.
