I painted this spring landscape in gouache from imagination. Around here, the snow has just melted and the trees are still bare, in that in-between time, not quite winter, not quite spring. #landscapepainting #art #gouache #watercolor #sketch #spring #trees #colorstudy #fineart #artforsale

Spring is here…at least in my imagination. We actually just got fresh snow where I am, but my mind has already moved on to softer greens an 4.25x6” watercolor and gouache on paper, original and prints available, message me if interested. 🌱 #watercolor #gouache #painting #bsnm #art #landsape #spring

I painted this winter oil landscape balancing atmosphere and structure. A simple warm to cool sky sets the mood, while the weighted foreground grounds the openness above. #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting #fineart #artforsale #artist #painting #contemporaryart #originalart #winter #snow

This winter gouache uses a quieter palette. It feels gray, but all colors come from the primaries, red, yellow, and blue. Red is subtle but important. I’ve been thinking about how little it takes to suggest a season. #art #gouache #sketch #landscape #winter #snow #painting #watercolor

I painted this gouache as a pause from winter. With temperatures in Canada at minus 27 Celsius, it felt right to turn to something warmer.🌟Does this scene take you somewhere familiar or somewhere you wish you were? #art #LandscapePainting #gouache #sketch #nature #pleinair #painting #watercolor

Sorolla masterstudy in gouache today, based on his portrait of Maria Teresa Moret. I focused on the planes of the head and the subtle hue and value shifts, a great exercise in observing how light moves across form. #art #painting #portrait #gouache #sketch #masterstudy #gouachepainting #sorolla

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas. What could be more appropriate for Christmas than a portrait of Jesus? I painted this Joshua Clare master study in gouache. #art #painting #portrait #gouache #sketch #gouachepainting #jesus #christmas

Back to the same scene, pushed into a higher key and summer light. Bright values and yellowed grass shift the mood, showing how the same landscape can feel like a different season. ✨Which version of the three speaks to you most? #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting #pleinair #nature #creek #summer

Oil color study based on the landscape from my last post, now in different lighting. Two very different moods. Which version stands out to you? #art #landscapepainting #oilpainting #colorstudy #nature #trees #creek #pleinair #grass #reflections #impressionism

Tiny nocturne landscape color study in oil, painted with a palette knife. Less about detail, more about mood, letting colors carry the atmosphere. 🎨Which colors do you like the most in this? #art #oilpainting #nocturne #moody #expressiveart #artsky #night #moonlight #landscapepainting #tree #sketch

I was painting this scene en plein air with a palette knife when the tree suddenly glowed in the last light. The low sun cast a flat horizontal sweep of light, beautiful but hard to capture with almost no tonal contrast. #art #oilpainting #pleinair #landscape #artsky #sunset #sketch #nature #trees

I painted this Josh Clare landscape masterstudy in oil on office paper because I was too lazy to cut proper paper. It works for studies but it’s very absorbent, so you have to keep reloading the brush and the colors darken. #art #painting #oilpainting #masterstudy #landscape #clouds #nature #sketch

A tiny oil landscape sketch I painted as a colour study, exploring light, atmosphere, and colour relationships. At 2.5” wide, it’s a quick field note capturing the feel of the place and giving me ideas for larger paintings. #art #oilpainting #pleinair #sunset #landscapepainting #sketch #nature

I painted this Harold Gilman master study in gouache and pushed the soft pastel colours a bit more vibrant than the original. This portrait study leans into loose, painterly brushstrokes to keep the whole thing feeling fresh and expressive. #art #painting #TraditionalArt #gouache #portrait #bsnm

Swans rushing across the October sky, their cries echoing through the crisp air. Their flight is wild, loud, chaotic, yet perfectly in sync. I often hear the swans’ calls when I’m out painting in the area and wonder how I might capture those sounds in paint… #photography #landscape #nature #swan
