Landscape Watercolor Journal
Sunday, January 18, 2009 I will be offering a one day workshop at Daniel Smith Artist Materials in Seattle from 11am to 4pm. In it we will discover how to work outdoors in a journal, capturing essential information that you can later use in your studio paintings. We'll focus on landscape elements like trees, water and rocks. I will also discuss my palette and other possibilities for Northwest and western landscape subjects. In the workshop we will be working from photos and I'll bring many, but if you have your own preferences, please bring those.
Pictured here is a sketch I did on the the summit of Skyscraper Mountain in Mt. Rainier National Park. A very airy perch indeed! It was exhilarating looking across about 2 miles of empty air to Little Tahoma and the moraine below it. Perhaps vertiginous is a better word--but painting the view helped me feel more anchored to the mountain.
I love your art it is very gentle and beautiful. Thanks for sharing
