watercolor

The sketch is based on reference photos of different blooming trees. Guess, no botanical realism here.

Hands. Due to this Covid-19, we can't shake at this very moment. Let's show them off! :D

Watercolor practice

They were supposed to be clouds but look more like a witch i think

Sunset Clouds study. Watercolour. March 20, 2020. I found this extremely difficult. I've only ever painted clouds in Oil paint and it was much easier. I'm still working on painting lighter and quicker, but I found it a challenge to mitigate. I'll paint this again once my skills have advanced more.

Inspired by my grandkitty, Creed. Done in pencil and watercolor pencils.

In Your Heart

I find backgrounds in paintings challenging so I deliberately tried to make a more complex background with this one. I sometimes have difficulty deciding when to finish and in this case maybe I overworked the background a bit too much. Still, I feel I learned a lot from the process.

Amethyst Cluster... Watercolour with some gouache on cold pressed paper, 6" x 8".

Toronto had almost 3 million people, everyone going in different directions, but where are they going? I want to know, too shy to ask.

The picture is terrible. the colors are much brighter... Named for the person liked it most Marker, sharpie, watercolor markers. Simple way to get out of my mind, relax, zone out, I call it brain numbing style because to me it's simple (but it's not really) and just what I do no rhyme or reason. I Just start drawing lines (no subject) with black sharpie/perm marker and see what develops, often surprise myself. I go back and see faces, objects, figures... Closing lines up I see more and then as I start adding color more images develop, no theme to begin but rather it develops as I color and close it in . I tend to see faces a lot especially in graphite or charcoal and in just about anything...rocks, wood, paneling. At times I start with a scenery or subject but turns out completely different and the original never happened. I find out after I look up from being so focused (call it zoned out)

I got out of my comfort zone and tried painting a watercolor without an ink drawing underneath - just pencil lines.

Water color pencils in a monotone piece of shades of pink. This was pretty hard considering I didn't have any magenta or hot pink hues. I had to create them and it was a pleasure. This was inspired from one of the artist's Grimes cover art.

Alien plant study - This became an experiment. At least I learned what works and what doesn't. Layers and layers of paint later... Feb. 13, 2020.

My soul has been severed in two, like Yin and Yang, these parts interlace. Only both are beast.

Elegantly framed and mounted on pu leather, is a depiction of the Frankenstein's monster's bride coming to life. Her electric personality is only trumped by her insatiable craving for brains.

Help... does anyone know why my photos are coming out rotated incorrectly? I've tried rotating before hand and it still won't work. :[

Drawings I made for a commission of the five stages of the Walking Wall installation by Andy Goldsworthy at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. What an inspiring journey to walk and watch it move.
