Rocks

Sometimes, when I have time, I do random sketches of things just for practice. I usually don't show them cause they usually turn out bad or don't have a purpose. But I felt like showing a few over the next few days, just to keep people checkin back. This was a practice experiment I did a long time ago but was too shy to show it!

More Plein Air

Today is my birthday! So I wanted to mark it by posting a painting. First one of the year, lets see how many I can do this year. I went to Garin Regional Park in the east bay a while ago and here is the result. I had a hard time that day because of the sun that was beating down on me, and illuminating the canvas from behind for a while. But super excited to go out that morning, got up at 5am and saw the sun come up! Good thing I had my paintin buddy with me or I don't think I couldn't mustered the motivation. The colors of the hills are mostly yellows cause all the vegetation is dead and dry this time of year. Hopefully I can catch it when things are green and do a side by side shot. I hope you're all not getting tired of seeing plein air paintings from me, I'll try and post something different soon when I have more time, just to switch it up a bit. Thanks for reading!

Plein air in Pacifica.

We went to rockaway beach again over the weekend a while ago and I did this painting, it is dried just enough for me to scan it the paint was still a little sticky hehe. It was an overcast day that day so was a challenge to see what colors I was putting down. I had fun, hope y'all like!

Plein air Painting

I did these at Piccetti winery and Rockaway beach. It was the first time in 7 years or so that I'd picked up an actual paintbrush! The health inspectors at my old art school came through my senior year and made everyone switch to water based oils because regular oil paints are bad for us. I started painting digitally more anyway and was kind of scared away from it a little. But I love it way to much to give up completely! I'm bringin back the traditional roots and having a lot of fun so far! By the way, the smallest one was about 2"x4" it was challenging to paint so small. The largest size is of rockaway beach which was 8"x10"
