Sepia-toned landscape. Not a total success, but I'm still learning how to layer.

Playing with watercolor again in a very unserious way. It's very different from gouache, for sure!

So I tried watercolor for the first time. It's little half pan cakes, and I have basically no idea what I'm doing. Behold, my wonky, skinny lemon!

Sketching from class, still life & landscape in Boston Public Garden.
They're awful in general, but just fine for absolute beginner drawings.

I have a one-off introduction to drawing class tomorrow in Boston. Kind of excited!

So, anyone have some advice about getting washi tape off of paper without ripping it?

Blick Art haul. They're having an autumn sale, and although I just wanted some rigger brushes, I couldn't resist the inexpensive paints!

Confession: I get very sheepish in the art supply store.
Whenever I buy art supplies, I feel like a pretender of some sort. I'm cosplaying as someone who knows what they're doing.
I'm just feeling my way through this on my own, using reference paintings and the occasional YouTube lesson.

Still copying others' simple works as I learn how to paint. Liked this idea, though, and I'm learning how to do fine lines with the rigger.

Sort of busy autumn scene, where I got to mix some metallic gold gouache into the oranges and yellows. Very sparkly in person, super fun to do.
