First time using Arches watercolor paper …. WOW what a difference #quality #paper makes! I don’t think I can go back now… Another Paul Clark video follow.

Calling this one done. I think it’s time to invest in proper #watercolor paper. I’ve heard it makes quite the difference in what you can do. First time trying Oil Pastel stick things … no clue if I did I right …

Still working it. Going slow and deliberate trying to get the shading right. Following a Paul Clark video.

Sunset in the background with some trees and small retention pond. The sun is shining in a way to cause streaks of light to appear to be coming towards the viewer.

Followed a Paul Clark tutorial. I’m happy with one for sure! I didn’t have masking fluid, so I used a birthday candle I found in a drawer. Worked well!

View of green field with blue sky and clouds and yellow sun as viewed through a car window. You can see the car door and mirror framing the landscape.

Green field and trees with yellow sun in the sky and clouds. Sky is mostly yellows and orange with very little blue.

#iPhone really make it easy to look like a good #photographer. The first #image is what it looked like from car. The other two are zoomed past the car door, so the focus in on the #landscape.

Yep, I know that feeling all too well! It’s like the paint suddenly decides to rebel. But hey, even the messy ones teach us something … at least I think so lol.

They can’t all be #winners. This #watercolor #painting was doomed as I finished the #sketch. But … a bad day painting beats the heck out of a good day doing lots of other things.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate Minnesota’s transgender community and recommit to standing up for our neighbors in the face of hatred.

As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.
