didn't have drink and draw this week, so i've continued with my studies.
these are based on photos we took during a really beautiful hike in the sunol wilderness, just east of fremont. in addition to being a nice hike, this hike is memorable also because we came across and were half-chased by an agressive cow. nearest we could figure, it didn't like D's orange jacket.
getting a better feel for my paints this time around though i haven't quite figured out what to do about the whites - they are much less opaque than what i'm used to. this means i have had to reserve the whites like in watercolors. i'm overall pretty satisfied with these two - it wasn't quite as big a struggle as the previous few. however, i hate the clouds on both of these - probably ought to use a different brush.

very nice!
you might want to try (when doinglandscapes) using naples yellow and only use white sparringly... when you absolutely have to. Just a friendly thought. suka!

thanks for the comments. i actually do use very little white (maybe not consciously though)..in these cases, i had wanted to use it for the clouds. will try using even less though.
