Bum portrait



Bum's have the greatest faces sometimes. This fellow was walking around downtown Seattle when I noticed him and took the photo. My medium for this painting is gouache and watercolor on oatmeal colored scrapbook paper.

More Venice gondolas



Here is a watercolor and gouache color study for a large painting that I will be painting in oil. The final size for the oil painting will be something close to 20" x 30"



This study of a gondola was also painted in watercolor and gouache. For both studies, I'm interested in the color relationships rather than the specific color that I see when I stare intently. I'm trying to resolve the color harmony and the mixing before I get to the more refined finished oil painting.

Downtown SD



Tivoli bar and grill located on 6th and Market St. in Downtown SD. This was done on location in about an hour or so. This is watercolor and gouache in my sketchbook. The paper is for drawing but it has a roughness and thickness to it much like cold press WC paper (but for about 1/3 the cost).
