#PleinAirpril day 01. From a visit to Napa across the bridge. Feeling a bit rusty and hoping to do some from life, but appreciate the openness of this challenge. Thanks @warriorpainters.bsky.social for hosting!

Film studies to practice cinematic lighting. Longlegs, It Follows, Underwater, Witcher. #art

Attempted a 3min study but more like 6-7min. Hard to stop! Film study of dogpool from Deadpool & Wolverine.

Happy Star Wars day! Gouache study from Return of the Jedi. #MayTheFourth #MayThe4th

Trying a new recipe, lemon pudding cakes! My partner’s coworkers keep passing us amazing lemons and I’m like, what do I make?? This apparently.

Water doggos 🦭

Another set of mapcrunch studies. Been having fun doing a few of these each day. Trying to keep them quick and focus on color palette experimentation. #art #virtualpleinair #color

Doing some mapcrunch studies today and playing with different lighting ideas. Also don’t want to go back to work tomorrow. Only paint, no work! #art #virtualpleinair

happy new year! 🐸🎊♥️

I recently discovered Jeff the land shark and fell in love. Here’s an iPhone-esque wallpaper crop of some fanart. Enjoy! #art #itsjeff

Turned out so good!

Limited palette study from map crunch. Ultramarine blue light, carmine and Naples yellow. Really liked using Naples yellow, hadn’t explored that much before. #gouache #art #virtualpleinair

Been going through my travel photos for painting inspiration. I'm noticing a tendancy towards tight compositions in my photography. That's all well and good, but not as helpful when wanting to use for reference! Note to self: take two photos and help future us out!

Still frame studies from two films (Nomadland and Nope). Really helping in terms of exploring color mixing and value contrast. Nope was interesting in that everything seemed to have a very subtle green tint. #art #gouache #composition

Getting back into painting and learning gouache. Has been challenging, but slowly feeling more comfortable. #art #pleinair #gouache

Painting I did for a class demo a few years ago. I do love spooky season, but have not painted anything spooky recently!

New challenge in studies for me: do a study and then push it further. My poor lazy brain 🥲 #art #digitalart #digitalstudy

Watercolor creature sketch from a few years ago. Recall just having fun with blending forms and seeing what shapes would reveal themselves. Currently focused on learning gouache, but bit of a visual reminder of how fun this was to explore!

If you've ever wondered what makes a bear in fact "chonky", let me share my research! This study was peer reviewed by folks who said things like, "oh so chonky!"

Getting back into painting for myself by doing a crowdfunded project with a friend. Enjoying painting the fat bears of Katmai National Park!
