An inky horse
Figuring out inks and trying to learn the transparency. A spotty appy seemed fun to try with. Blooms are hard to control but fun to work with. Grass is hard to plan, harder to paint. I should find a tutorial or something.

#77. Discovering the Hidden Detail as the Sun Sets. The Big Book of Painting Nature in Oil. Oil. October 25, 2023.
This was a fun one.
For comparison, here is the reference photo and lesson. I deviated quite a bit, and I think that came out for the better.
One up: really happy with how this came out. I used Macpherson’s method on the trees, where you cut out the negative space instead of painting over with the positive. It’s harder and more time consuming, but I love the look. Also like the receding mountain range in this one, I’ve had trouble with that in the past.
One improve: the sky should be painted more loosely to match the rest of the painting, instead I was up close with a small brush.
Colors: happy how the colors came out. Titanium white, cadmium yellow light, alizarin crimson, cerulean blue, pthalo green.

First time actually trying to paint, I think he turned out alright!
Can you tell i ran out of my mixed brown halfway through XD
I do think I'm not going to get as good at traditional as I am at digital because as much as I love painting... paints cost money and autodesk sketchbook is free :/
either way, it is deceptively easy to get paint all over your hands lol

So I decided to challenge myself and use my new sketchbook to paint in. I’ve never been a painter (other than screwing around) and I wanted to try to learn.
I followed our good man Bob Ross and though they’re not the best, I’m still proud of how they turned out.

Red Hat Adventures #5 (Oct 12, 2023) and #6 (Dec 6, 2023). Gouache. From photos taken at Lincoln City, Oregon, August 31, 2023.
The first was killing time at a conference, the second is for a gift.
One up: I really like how the sand, reflection, and water streaks came out in the first one. Just pulls you into the moment. The figures came out really well in the second painting.
One improve: the head/shoulders did not come out right on the first one, like I put the head on wrong (straight shoulders?). The beach not quite doing it for me in the second.
Colors: titanium white, yellow orchre, cadmium yellow light, burnt umber and sienna, quinacridone red, ultramarine blue.
