Los Angeles Sabertooth. Ink and watercolor on #LosAngeles map.

Had an amazing time at Kai Lun Qu’s “Pet Portrait” workshop over the weekend. Learned an incredible amount that I’m excited to put to use in future paintings and created a painting that I’m proud of and surprised me (which is always my favorite feeling in art).

Had a wonderful time at Natalia Fabia’s 2-day Life Painting workshop over the weekend. Here is my first piece using a new-to-me palette of white, yellow ochre, magenta, viridian, and black.

In preparation for an upcoming “life painting” workshop I’m attending, I wanted to experiment with the instructor’s color palette which included new-to-me viridian and magenta. Really fun color combo to play with.
