Rock Canyon

Rock Canyon 16*20 acrylic on stretched canvas Yes between packing, moving, and unpacking i did manage to fit in another painting. LOL ;) Been working on my landscapes lately, I thought this one was done then I photograph it and I now see little things that need tweaking. Mainly done with a pallett knife and a little brush work. Hope you enjoy

Stalking - adding the details

Just doodling and this what I came up with- I thought it was done after the first shot but it needed atmosphere to go along with mood. So i added some bushes in the front, and yet it was still missing something- so i went back in added the fence and deepened the shadows a little. Im thinking the shadow behind him is a little off it should be taller abd skinnier and sitting more off to the right a little - but oh well. One of the joys of watercolor is it is very hard to correct mistakes. These little paintings start out with a few simple Random brush strokes on a comination of wet/dry paper, I let them dry and them find pattern with in what was and work with it. That way your brain has the chance to switch over to the left and paint "what you see.. not what you think you see" Thank you Betty Edwards ;) These are my versions thumbnails.

Conwy Castle

Just waiting for some supplies to come in so I can start working on my latest commission, and since it has been a few years since I did anything in black and white so i thought i would start a small ink piece to try and work on my values. I am working this piece with a sz 03 micron pen. It has been so long since i brought my pens out that they have almost dried up - which is exactly what i needed to get this piece going. Ink is VERY unforgiving so you have to work slowly judging lights against darks and building up your darker values. You cant go back in and erase it later. About 6 hours into this already and it is only 8*10. Yes I am still working on my Xander portrait ;) 7.5"*8" Ink on paper For Sale $85 USD
