Oh wow!! Beautiful cloud work and lighting. What media are you using?

Stunning!! In both color and subject matter. As someone from the Southwest, I can feel this painting. Beautiful mood!

Oh gosh, yes, I do that all the time!! Ugh. It’s this terrible battle with “this last brushstroke will make it perfect. .. maybe just one more.” I normally stop myself at that point, hide that art and come back to it a week later with fresh eyes.

Working on #marker landscapes in the #sketchbook. The kitten has opinions. #art #cats #graycat #drawing #classicArt #yelllow

It’s a uplift desk. I love this thing!

I’m super pleased with the results of on the #breathofthewild ring ruin. I was able to get the value scale super close to the black and white version. #markers tips? Please comment. #zelda #drawing #landscapes #pen

If you’re going to have an art hobby, you must also have an art supplies collection hobby! Those are the rules!!

Working with #ohuhu #markers These things render like a dream!! #art #drawing #landscape #breathofthewild #color #wip #zelda

A few moody #landscapes with higher contrast and dark/night backdrops. Testing #colorpencils over the gray tone #markers. I think this worked out rather nicely. #art #drawing #sketchbook

First in the #sketch series #drawings for #landscape #paintings. I created it in #grayscale and then painted it in #acrylic #gouache. It’s still a #wip and I need to do the foreground plants. First time I’ve put ink work on top of the acrylic layer for texture. #art #illustrations #ink #acrylics

Originally intended this as a #landscape value #sketch … but I decided to add a bit of #coloredpencil, then suddenly the whole #drawing was done... and of course I completely forgot to take pictures of the grayscale. But vast improvement over past attempts at shadow and lighting #art #urbansketching

#drawing and lightning practice / #sketch for #landscape painting. Marker for the grayscale and pencil work just to see what would happen. #art #sketchbook #painting . Adding theThe value scale under layer to my process has been immensely helpful.

Some days this is what making #art looks like….Coffee, waterbottle, diagrams, paint swatches, two #sketchbook It’s a bit humbling having to go back to learning basics like color value. Too many years as a abstract expressionist, I’m having to relearn lighting. #acrylicpainting #painting #sketchings

#sketch #wip Some people use fruit, I use this day gecko to practice new #acrylic #art techniques. #acrylicpainting #painting Created the value sketch in marker, ink under-layer and now into the #gouachepainting

I’ve started painting on a smaller scale, (8x5 sketchbook) and that’s made it much easier and manageable to practice. Maybe a smaller scale could help?

When and where are they being held. More info please?

Lighting has not been a strong point in my recent works. So with the encouragement of my bff, who looked at me said “you’re going to hate this, but…” I’ve been working with grayscale to understand color. Future under layer for #paintings in my #art #landscapepainting process. #sketchbook #dailyart

Back to working on a somewhat larger scale with #acrylicpainting #wip I’ve got the color blocks in and need to adjust the values / contrast. #gouchepainting #acrylics on watercolor paper. #sailboats

Struggled with this one a lot! It was waay outside of my color comfort zone, and reworked it 3 times. Inspired by the environmental #conceptArt in arcane and the Zaun color palette. #art #painting #acrylic #color title “oh shit! Is that the party mage?” #mixedmedia #sketchbook

Quick under layer #sketch for these paintings. Going to play with some object source lighting. #painting #drawing #art #lineart

Playing with more environmental concept #art and #sketches on bristol paper in acrylic gouache. Trying to get bright light and shadows to look correct has been my absolute bane. I feel like this go around I’ve finally gotten some realistic lighting.

#Acrylic #painting with gouache on Bristol paper. Suuuper pleased with the results and how easy this was to work with. Bristol + gouache is my new favorite thing. #art #notAi #landscapepainting #sketchbook

Playing with mini #sketches. #acrylic on #sketch paper. Love these paints. For the first time it doesn’t feel like im fighting the paint to layer correctly. #art #painting #color #landscapes. This one might grow up to be a big painting.

Playing with some landscapes and lighting in the #Sketchbook. Using #acrylic #gouache and soft body acrylics on sketch paper.

More mini #sketch with #acrylicgouache and then prisma color pencil. These paints even on sketch paper, have such great color. However, what I really need to find is a good #Bristolpaper #sketchbook. Looking for Recommendations. #Art #paintng #tradationalArt

Well, that’s terrifying…

Created with #gouache #acrylic. I’ve never been more thrilled with a set of paints in my life. Title; “This is what it feels like standing in the summer sun in #arizona.” Lol #sketch #painting #sketchbook #color

Trying out some new paint - #gouache #acrylic. These things are an absolute pleasure to mix with. I’m super impressed at the color saturation. I’m using a 3 color pallet here; red, verdian and true blue. Everything else us mixed on the paper. #art #sketchbook #painting #sketch

#wip landscape created with #markers. Playing with some environmental concept art. More on this later #art #sketch #color #dailysketch

Absolutely obsessed with #yellow . Im starting to think it’s the only #color my brain can understand value scale in. I can’t quite get these contrasts when I work in other colors. #watercolor #art #sketch #sketchbook #painting

Your use of lighting and osl is astounding! Absolutely stunning collection of work here.
