Trying to put my @marugodas lessons from @domestika into practice in my neighborhood: here is the @pittockmansion, which sits at the top of a very steep, hilly neighborhood behind my house. Fantastic views of Portland from up there, and a very nice garden. . . . #marugodas #domestika #pittockmansion #pdxlife #travelportland #pnwonderland #pdxarts #pdxcreatives #pdxart #pdxartist #pdxartists #usk #pdxusk #drawyourday #drawyourworld #gouacepainting #gouacheillustration #gouachelandscape #portlandoregon #portlandartist #urbansketchers #urbansketching #sketchwalker #travelsketch (at Pittock Mansion) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSSB5-yFjpz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Taking what I learned from @marugodas in her @domestika class and applying it to my own world: here’s a little gouache painting and the reference photo. I had to keep reminding myself to MAKE STUFF UP! You’d think I’d know that by now! . . . #marugodas #domestika #gouache #gouachepainting #gouacheillustration #gouacheart #gouachesketchbook #gouachesketch #naturejournaling #naturejournal #naturejournals #drawyourday #drawyourworld #paintyourlife #paintyourworld #draweveryday #painteveryday #pdxartist #pdxartists #portlandartist #portlandart #portlandartists #pnwartist #pnwonderland #pdxlife (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSAHFqJp6YK/?utm_medium=tumblr

This @domestika class with @marugodas has been so much fun. She taught it in acrylic, but I did the painting in gouache and I was surprised at how much layering of very different colors I could do without the layers running into one another. I also used a different image than the one she taught in the class—in the notes she links to several more examples of similar landscapes she’s posted to Instagram, and I chose this one because it reminds me a bit more of where I live. It’s wild to work in such a different style! I’m not sure how I would use these ideas in my own paintings, but it’s fun to play around with. . . . #domestika #marugodas #gouache #gouachepainting #gouacheillustration #gouachelandscape #landscapeillustration #natureillustration #naturejournal #naturejournaling #paintingnature #abstractlandscape #abstractlandscapes (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR9ZdItlZrV/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m obsessed with the new @domestika class from @marugodas and I went into Forest Park yesterday to make some visual notes. She teaches this class in acrylic and I’m trying to resist the siren song of yet another medium, so we’ll see how far I get with watercolor, gouache, ink, colored pencil, marker…. . . . #marugodas #domestika #naturejournaling #natureinspired #gardenjournal #naturejournal #naturesketchbook #naturesketching #drawyourday #drawyourworld #botanicalsketch #botanicalart (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR66F0jL0zg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Practicing sketching urban people for @marugodas @domestika class in gouache with watercolor pencils in my Hobonichi planner. #paintyourworld #marugodas #sketchjournal #hobonichicousin #hobonichi #gouacheartist #gouache #mixedmedia #jenniekessinger (at Walnut Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI9SgKkHRAz/?igshid=1kokp6z8v7iux

More homework for @domestika & @marugodas ‘s Pictorial Sketchbook class. Here, we made paint strips for each tube of gouache (painted in the center) adding white in 2 steps on top and black in 2 steps at the bottom. In my sketchbook, I added the different colors haphazardly in a “Festival of Colors”. I am loving this class! #paintyourworld #marugodas #gouachepaint #gouacheartist #jenniekessinger (at Walnut Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIXb9Sgn9ZF/?igshid=1haoo53pay3by

Amazing time painting with @marugodas and Susan Wilson today at Stanford campus - thank you for the inspiration and company - it’s amazing how many different greens these two ladies mixed between them in gouache! #gouachefriends #marugodas #standord #gouache #paintingwithfriends #mixingcolors https://www.instagram.com/p/BnKVcNthchw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5uh8bz2hytaj
