Getty Villa

Three sketch artists enjoying the day, talking custom made art tools, eating food, enjoying amazing weather talking art and travels.  April, me, Charles at the Getty Villa this Saturday.  Yes, we will do this again, another place next month.

On a Second Thought:  Added a pattern to the wall; limited palette in warm and cool greys.  Using Aaron Blaise's canvas set up and used his texture brushes as light "finishing" brushes.  Making sure NOT to overwork this one.

Today

Playing around with Aaron Blaise's set up.  These are not his brushes but brushes I've collected along the way.  Working zoomed way out in PS, limited pallette, knocking in lighting and values.  Super fun.  Recovering from a storm of freelance, taking a breather.  Went thru severe burn out and then an artist's block, but just have to jump right back in.  Getting back my sea legs~

Sprites of the Forest

Blowing off some steam.  Slow this winter, work is picking up.  Been a grueling freelancing weekend-miss painting with my Blackwing.  So fun to dream..searching for looks for the next Sprites of the Forest painting.  Multi-drawing Holbein sketchbook-love this book, but very expensive!  Loves the pencil, not bad with acrylics either.  Faber castell and Tonbow brush pens
