Using only bright colors to rough-in late winter scenes at the Clemson Botanical Gardens #speedpainting #liveart #pleinair #urbansketching

Plein air casein painting at an interesting venue where it's built to look like a 1930s community. There are tons of great subjects on the site, and I'll probably paint there a few more times. #pleinair #liveart #americana

Sketches after I gave a quick demo about rapidly sketching moving subjects with my local chapter of @urbansketchers.bsky.social at a climbing gym. #urbansketching #bouldering #climbinggym #livesketching

First plein air (or plein smoke) session of the year - a backyard painting in melting ice to commemorate the weather event. Contrast was the focus here: light and dark, hot and cold, blurred and sharp. 10"x8" casein on watercolor paper #pleinair #iceandfire #winter #icestorm #painting #casein

Live sketching an aerial lyra hoop performer as she practiced a routine #urbansketching #watercolor #art

#urbansketching in 3 colors of gouache (ultramarine, burnt sienna, and white) on casein-toned paper. Little scenes from a meetup of other sketchers inside a building. #art #sketches

Figure studies in watercolor and ink, 55 mins each #figuredrawing #sketch #watercolor

Stopped for a bit of #urbansketching a couple weeks ago while I was in the area. This is a cool building I might end up painting some day. Alcohol inks and fountain pen on painting pad sheet

Painted in near-freezing weather with casein for the first time at a Christmas tree farm. I overlooked that my paint set did not include white, so I had to work transparently like watercolor mostly. #pleinair #casein #farm #winter

Some of the sketches I did at Cars and Coffee this morning. Got lots of passing admirers and even sold the first one I did (not pictured) #urbansketching #pleinair #automotiveart #watercolor #founatainpens
