I know this might not look very nicely finished, but it was my first time trying procreate to draw something.

Creek - Virtual Plein Air. Watercolour and gouache. Feb. 6, 2020.

Mixed Media. Sketchbook drawing of one of my family's new kittens.

So much going on in this, but it was really fun to draw.

I uploaded a version of this that I felt was kind of a throwaway. Just dinking around and trying to get a feel for techniques. In the end, while I was happy with what I learned, I didn't think much of it as far as a completed work goes. But I couldn't leave it alone so I took about another hour and fixed what I felt could be fixed short of starting from scratch. Because it's a process, right?

One of our most popular artists is Juan Jose Sanchez. He has a unique and recognizable style that is very aesthetically pleasing. Sanchez’s artwork can brighten any room and truly make you feel like you just stepped into the forests of the island.

Just a quick watercolor (digital) experiment. Still learning the tools.

Landschaftpark Duisburg-Nord, Germany. This abandoned steel mill is transformed into a industrial heritage centre and landscape park. It's a great location for photographers and urban sketchers.

A print of my Allagash Falls piece. It was snowing when I took this :)
