Having fun these days with landscapes in my daily sketchbook practice. I use either gouache or acrylic and colored pencil or crayon. Such a great way to learn something each day!

Another palette pairing I love: warms and cools together. Put a cool version of any color next to its warm counterpart and watch them both come alive — the contrast does the work for you. Try it in your next piece!

I love working in a similar color palette on different types of paintings. This floral will become a pattern and the still life is a moment in time. It feels like they are friends 🥰

One of my favorite still life paintings. I have been taking a break from large painting this summer and this one keeps calling to me saying, “make more like me!”

My favorite painting from my plein air painting week this spring. The scene there behind the easel is what I was using as inspiration. Swipe to see the gouache study I did first to warm up.

Horsing around in my sketchbook 🤣. As a teen in Chile I was lucky enough to get into riding and had a horse for a year before we left. And then as a young mom I bought a cheap failed race horse. Nothing fancy, very green (untrained) horses that I loved spending time with. There is nothing better than a soft, warm horse nose especially on a cool day🥰. Swipe to see pics of my horsey days.

Here’s a landscape I did outside and the sketch, reference photo and a bit of explanation if you swipe. Enjoy!
