Leadbetter Beach
Another nap time speed painting here. I think only having 30 minutes really helps in making quick decisions, and motivation for getting color right the first time. gouache on mixed media paper available here Also, don't miss next weeks email, I'll be announcing my black friday/cyber week (whatever on earth we're calling it these days) sale! It goes live next Tuesday, and you don't want to miss it! The last time I hosted a sale like this was 2012 I think, so these don't come around too often!
Foothill Sunset
I liked this one so much that I'm working on a larger oil version of it. I'm excited to get to use my palette knife to get those wires nice and crisp. gouache on mixed media paper available here
Still Morning Waters
I love the early morning colors here on the California coast. Light and fresh, and those blue morning shadows on the sand. gouache on mixed media paper available here
October, Carpinteria Beach
Another piece experimenting with watercolors and white gouache, I like the looseness of this one, and I feel like the watercolors encouraged that for me. watercolor and gouach on mixed media paper available here
Low Tide
I've been experimenting with using watercolors mixed with a little white gouache, instead of using gouache for every color. The darkest darks seem a bit chalky with gouache, and I was wondering if the transparency of the watercolors would help with that. watercolor and gouache on mixed media paper available here
