A little stream running through the Baylands with butterflies today #pleinair #Baylands #landscapepainting #gouache
Little gouache from a photo taken last year in Mendocino. Getting some practice in before my next visit #gouache #landscapepainting #seascape #oceanscape #menocino #californiacoast
I painted over a small watercolor landscape with gouache working to establish clear cool and warm zones. I think it made the shadow on the slope feel shadier and the sunny area more blazing #seascape #gouache #colortemperature
Here is the rest of my painting that I gouached over with Bonnard inspired color. I’m tickled (as my mom would say). #figurepainting #gouache #color
Starting to work over an unsatisfactory watercolor painting using gouache and some ideas I learned about Bonnard’s use of color. I like what is happening #color #mixedmedia #figurepainting
Painting plein air at Bernal Joice Ranch in San Jose #pleinair #gouache #landscapepainting
A different viewpoint of the setup. This time I’m using granulating watercolor to create the optical color mixing #watercolor #stilllife #color #experiments
Same subject as yesterday, but this time using watercolor #stilllife #watercolor #color
I’m taking an online class on Bonnard and his use of color taught by Barbara Fugate (amazing artist and teacher). This is a sketch I did in the class #color #sketching #stilllife
Spent the morning painting on the dunes with friends at Sandholdt Beach in Moss Landing, California #pleinair #watercolor #dunes
Here it is floating in a sea of white canvas. I kind of like the soft edges
Finished with this one. Not sure if it’s improved, but time to move on #acrylicpainting #oceanscape #californiacoast

A studio redo of yesterday’s plein air painting of a black-crowned night heron. Took more time finding the shapes of the foliage and added more color #watercolor #bird #heron

The weird and wonderful bald cypress trees at Niles Community Park in Niles California #pleinair #watercolor #baldcypress
I worked some more on this view of the Santa Teresa mountains - basically I darkened the value of the mountains. I’m much happier with it now. 22x14” #watercolor #mountains #springtime #California
Sketched this scene yesterday at Guadalupe Oak Grove Park then finished up the painting today in my studio. #pleinair #watercolor #pencilsketch
