It’s been a challenging month, and I haven’t had a lot of success with my gouache painting lately. So I decided to go back to my old style of doodling cats and aliens on black holes with ink and colored pencils, where life makes sense and I know what I’m doing.
Infinite Holes with Two Cats
Doodle No. 139
Watercolor pencils, ink, mica paint on 6” square cotton paper.
Voici une p'tite aquarelle que j'ai nommée "Au clair des lunes", et qui représentent mes deux personnages principaux, Nagarios et Maane, en train de regarder le clair des lunes. Bon visionnage ! 🌙
I’m just playing with this. It’s a bit abstract. It’s the Superstition Mountains near Phoenix, Arizona and shows a few saguaro cactus growing in the foreground. Colors: Ultramarine, Teal, Quin Rose, Spring Green, Burnt Sienna, Paynes Grey. Brushes: hake, rigger. #watercolor#watercolour#art#MastoArt
To celebrate Aplatonic Visibility Day I tried painting a still life with apples.
I like the end result but the painting process was way more stressful then I imagined it to be. I guess round shapes are not as easy as they look. 😄
I like the color scheme though! It's almost exclusively painted with just three colors: A red (cadmium red), a yellow (lemon yellow PY3) and a blue (deep blue PB60).
This is a #watercolor of Bobby Ingram (guitarist Molly Hatchet). A fast nimble player "flrtin with disaster". For some reason, he's also a lawyer. Like any painting I've done, it's a list of mistakes.
Bike ride today. Was planning about 30 miles. Did 6. Hot, grumpy. Was gonna pack it in but then remembered I had planned to go see the Yoda statue at Letterman in the Presidio. Then I had some lunch. Then I went to Tunnel Tops and painted. Then Sophia, my new friend, decided she wanted to try watercolor painting too. Best day ever. #BikeTooter#RecumbentTrike#cycling#UrbanSketching#USk#watercolor#drawing#TunnelTopsPark
