Venezia by Fabriano

These sketches are all in my new 9x12 Venezia Sketchbooks. the paper is wonderful for ink and takes watercolor washes very well
I am inspired by the techniques in one of my favorite art books Watercolor without Boundaries by Karlyn Holman. all the drawings I plan on will be cityscapes, or landscapes, many from photos I took while on a trip to the UK and France. There will also be sketches from photo refs around the world shared by my Wetcanvas art friends.

midwestern Gouache

this was first ink sketched, then painted with gouache, I am just learning how to manipulate this medium. After I was done I kind of lost some of the details so added a bit of ink back.

Waiting to Board

this is a scene from Wales provided by justjean from Wetcanvas, I loved the relaxing stance of the couple waiting for their boat, a nice portrayal of vacation time.
