Ink illustration of the rocky north shore in Minnesota.
Day 11: my gf picked out this photo of the north shore I took. It's a great photo but if I never saw rocks again it would be too soon.

Photo of oil painting on canvas taped to a board. It shows a portrait orientation of mostly a landscape looking at Georgetown University from Virginia, with the iconic clock towers distinguishable. Most of the painting is blue sky. It is a clear spring day.
Spring is finally here! Took advantage of the weather to paint a view of Georgetown from Rosslyn #art #pleinaire #lanscape #georgetownuniversity #spring
An ink sketch of Pike Place Market, with the "PUBLIC MARKET" neon sign lit over the market, and many people milling about.
A little sketch of Pike Place Market while waiting for friends to arrive. A great thing about sketching is you can do it anywhere!

A watercolor painting of a path winding through a wood with bright yellow foliage.
Watercolor is starting to click!
The exuberant yellow foliage of these tall, thin trees in Magnuson Park in Seattle struck me as I was looking for what to paint.

Took my new gloves for a test drive, and I'm happy to say that they work! Kept my hands a workable temperature on a day where I had to pull up my puffy jacket's hood.
Really like how this sketch turned out. Playing with approaches continues.

Learning lots, learning lots. Watercolor is hard!

a watercolor sketch of trees in fall along a path leading by a yellow house.
I'm making an effort to spend more time in nature and away from screens. This means I'm gonna get gud at on-location watercolor.

More watercolor trees! Now with humans!
Tried hard to keep it in a narrow warm register.

Had a wonderful trip in Japan, even had a spare moment to draw a couple of sketches, this being the best one. #sketchbook #art #drawing #landscape #pleinaire #japan
A painting of a river snaking through woods. The painting is on an easel, it is sitting in the woods, in the distance you can see the river and woods from the painting. The painting is unfinished
Plein aire painting is so wonderful. It is so calming. Just sitting outside and focusing very carefully on something in the distance. I’m pretty sure that’s a kind of meditation

Sometimes it’s good to just do studies to focus on something more particular. I love how the trees came out by the end.

A watercolor painting of a tree and plants on a bluff overlooking Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains in the distance.
Didn't start out trying to take this approach, but really like a lot of what happened and learned a lot!

Definitely top secret science stuff going on at a structure like this in the middle of a big field. (The radar antenna dome at Discovery Park in Seattle.)

It's funny looking at the past's vision of the future. One day, people will look back at our movies of today and chuckle.
This was fun to draw/paint. The Space Needle and Monorail are somehow still iconic in their retro futuristic glory.
