No Holds Barred Creativity

Tombow!

Drawing practice. Head is too narrow but the rest I’m happy with.

Another run at the cargo ship in Astoria.

Something I've been playing with. I now have a sketchbook that is just for color testing and mixing.

Visited Astoria yesterday. This was my view out the window from Buoy Brewing. Great food there, great view. Gorgeous light. This paper doesn't take a wash very well, but I like how it turned out anyways. 3.5 x 5 landscape handbook sketchbook.

Good morning little bird.

On retreat I found a flicker feather,a purple maple seed, and cedars everywhere 🙂 #art #nature #watercolor #feather #mg

Seems even more relevant today, somehow.

Proof of concept for a thing I'm working on.

Little mini sketches with watercolor I’ve been playing with. I used masking fluid for the first time for most of the spots on the mushrooms. Some wet in wet, some glazing. Trying to understand dilution and intensity.

The building I was standing against across the street has been turned into a Scientology recruitment center, which is hilarious because there was some crazyeye with a litter-ature table acting as a greeter who was greeting everybody with cartoonish cheeriness, Tom Cruise style. I got the giggles.

Fountain pen, Sailor ink in Shigure, plain water wash.

Playing with watercolor washes, trying to learn how water moves on paper and how the color blends.
