Abstract Planter

Saw this planter in front of a building downtown and did a quickie abstract, mostly to play with the bright and vibrant colors. Watercolors and waterbrush in a 3"x5" Handbook sketchbook.

Tropical Fishing

Watercolors and a new travel-sized waterbrush. Going for loose, definitely achieved that. 8"x5".

Country Road

Did this over the course of three lunch breaks at work. Watercolors and regular brushes on 3"x5" Handbook sketchbook.

Monochrome Rock

Simple quickie done with a black watercolor pencil and waterbrush in a pocket sketchbook.

Lombardy Poplars

Still playing with watercolor washes, and this time a couple of runaway floods made me turn the paper upside down and after it dried, I worked with the shapes that accidentally happened. I like it.

Zhao Bin

I've always admired oriental art, especially the Sumi-E style of Japan and the landscape paintings from China. Recently, a coworker visited China and presented me with a gorgeous postcard upon her return. I immediately had to try it for myself. Watercolor pencil and waterbrush.

Oh, and if you think those paintings are exagerrated, check out the photos here. Amazing.

Figure Study 3

Another female figure study. Watercolor pencil and waterbrush.
