I shouldn’t be surprised that I have more blue and green paints, colored pencils, and water soluble crayons than any other colors.

I’ve been really drawn to painting landscapes and seascapes lately. As beautiful as the snow is, I’m missing spending more time outside!

As someone who defaults to representational art, it’s been a fun personal challenge to branch out (tree pun intended!)

A few, small (bookish) acts of rebellion & fuckery
*prioritize books by marginalized authors (pre-order their books, it sends a message that this is what we want)
*shop indie bookstores
*celebrate the achievements of marginalized creators
*read banned books
*support library programming and services

Continuing to experiment with gouache, especially in mixed media sketches. I love how nicely colored pencil can layer with it.

The painting that made me like watercolors. Had never cared for them at all. Then one day while studying Sargent I came across Muddy Alligators and couldn't believe it was a watercolor painting. It was my laptop wallpaper for many years.

“Color is an inborn gift, but appreciation of value is merely training of the eye, which everyone ought to be able to acquire.” John Singer Sargent (1856 Florence-1925 London) “Muddy Alligators” 1917. #Watercolor over graphite on off-white wove paper. #watercolorpainting #weswaugh #boonenc
