Watercolor paintings and sketches are some of my favorite ways to practice art. This spring and summer I've been busy doing just that. The drawings below are a selection of some of the work in my sketchbooks. I've been trying hard to sketch and paint a little more loosely. I think when I tighten up my work, it never really achieves the level of photorealism, because deep down I think that you might as well just take a picture.
To get good sketches, I like to get out and about. Traveling the back roads and urban side streets can provide subject matter. I like barns, especially old barns, so I sketch and paint them. Here are a few of my recent sketches.
