Second attempt with my cheep gouache set. Still couldn’t get it to hold saturation or the darks.

Escaping the House of Gold

Added another Wakefield water-color doodle to my sketchbook last night. I penciled in a few more panels as well but it may be a few days before I have a chance to paint them.

Broken dreams

A few more pages from my sketchbook. More Wakefield story doodles. I’m having fun with this sequence so I think I’ll just keep going until it all falls apart.

On a technical note, I really need to get a scanner. The photographs I’m posting here are fuzzy and the color is off. I’ve tried to correct it but you can only do so much.

Father’s Day Backyard Painting

my parents years
My parents newly landscaped back yard.

Made the long drive up to Cloverdale today to have a father’s day BBQ with my folks. We picnicked in their newly landscaped backyard which was a huge improvement to the dead grass and clay which once resided there. My dad had put in a pond which he was proudly showing off to us.

Between bites of chicken and BBQ’d corn I documented the virgin landscape with a quick iPad painting. Oh man was it hot and dry though. I struggled to paint with all the glare on the tablets screen. The whole landscape bled together in washed out grey tones, faded by the hot sun. My eyes strained just to look at it all. The space is quite nice but after about an hour we all opted out to go swimming.

It was a pretty fantastic father’s day.
