Tiny study of a local homestead I’ve painted bef Tiny study of a local homestead I’ve painted before. I like how these barns huddle together and I love the lines of this house.

Quick, loose ink sketch of a farm near Jolicure, N Quick, loose ink sketch of a farm near Jolicure, New Brunswick. Really rough, but mainly done as an excuse to try a technique @PaulHeaston hinted at recently — diluted ink in a waterbrush. Looking forward to trying more like this, but maybe without the ink explosion next time? (See fingernails.)

8 hour, 40-minute digital painting of an apartment 8 hour, 40-minute digital painting of an apartment building on my street at night. From a reference photo I took this summer. Swipe for time-lapse video. Time to call this one done and move on, I think. Learned a lot about Procreate on this; mostly how much I have left to learn. I left the wordmark off the side of the van, because I used Procreate’s type tool to recreate it, so it felt like cheating (plus it’s set in squished Times New Roman & letter-spaced lower-case Arial — not my thing); you get a brief glimpse of the wordmark in the video. I did draw the hawk logo, though. :)[visit watercolours.ca] . . . #art #fineart #landscape #landscapepainting #landscapepainter #architecture #archisketcher #studio #USk #urbansketch #van #panelvan #sackville #tantramar #newbrunswick #nb #explorenb #eastcoast #maritimes #atlanticcanada #canada #canadianart #global_sketchers #fontsnob #typography. .

Sports field with net; Port Elgin Regional School. Sports field with net; Port Elgin Regional School. Loosest of pencil sketches underneath watercolour, a splash of white #gouache, and the tiniest amount of #Prismacolor #watercolourpencils. Still don’t understand trees at all; working on it. To be clear, LEARNING IS HAPPENING and this one looks better in person than the photo suggests. No, really.

Not really feeling this work in progress. Terrible Not really feeling this work in progress. Terrible sky wash; mangled the surface of the paper trying to remove a hair… Let’s see how many more mistakes I can learn from along the way!
