Progression of the Pacific Green Sphinx. Colored pencil and gouache on Duralene. 🐡
A brightly colored rough underpainting of a Pacific Green Sphinx moth The first layers of colored pencil over the bright underpainting of the Pacific Green Sphinx. The details are starting to emerge. Finished drawing of a Pacific Green Sphinx moth. Forewings are green and purple with big green heart shapes. Hindwings are just barely visible and are pink with a maroon edge. The body is all green with pale yellow markings. Medium is colored pencil and gouache on Duralene. This gives the drawing some dimension and softness

This salt marsh piece is coming right along! Finally. 😣
Photo of a watercolor and ink painting in progress. In the center are various plankton species. Around them are Olympia Oysters, California Bay Shrimp, California Horn Snail, and Ridgeway’s Rail - all in color. There are Salt Marsh Harvest mice outlined in ink. These are all framed by a wreath of pickleweed and salt grass, which are partly painted. There are also two butterfly species perched on the plants, also awaiting paint.

Inked version of this Salt Marsh piece all done! 🐡
An ink drawing featuring diatoms, oysters, horned snails, Bay Shrimp, Ridgway’s rail, Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse, pickleweed, salt grass, Pygmy Blue and Sandhill Skipper butterflies - all residents of the salt marshes that line the San Francisco Bay. Organisms are arranged in a kaleidoscope pattern with diatoms (the base of the food web) in the center, animals around them, and the plants and butterflies around the outside.
