Eiger, from Grindelwald. Direct Watercolor. 12"x9", Hesitant to paint scenes a trip to Switzerland. I stick to urban landscapes in some stage of decay, but - hopefully - with some grace. Something majestic in a much slower decline is tough.

Lisbon Dawn. Direct Watercolor. 20"x16", 140lb Arches Cold Press. This scene means a lot to me. After the second wash I was ready to trash it... then I thought I couldn't ruin it any more. I see some good parts.

Morning value sketches. They say some rain will come in and take away the snow I have grown fond of adding to these... even reaching a little out of my comfort zone. I usually steer away from trees.

Morning value sketches. The markers I usually use for my four-value notans are running dry, so I picked up the three neglected middle value markers to see what cropped up. Seemed like November.

Output from a demo I gave on Sunday at the Annual meeting of the Vermont Watercolor Society. Had a wonderful time demonstrating my direct watercolor approach on this 20"x16" piece in front of a great crowd of people and watercolor enthusiasts!

A couple more four-value notans. Typically when I start to get more compartmentalized and detail oriented I know it is a sign to stop and start getting into trouble with watercolor again 😂

Always fun and challenging to return to 4 value notan studies (4th being white of paper). Also revealing what has to be chosen as a connecting shape even though they are different values, but not _that_ different with the limited choices.
