Halloween!

once again, nothing solid planned for halloween...might go to a haunted house/wedding party, might go watch the cabinet of dr. caligari at the symphony..or then again we might well just stay home and not do anything.

in any case, i enjoyed painting this, though i managed to creep myself out a bit in the process.

armada

spaceships!  guilty pleasure! gouache and digital..

der Graf

resolution of a doodle...

some experiments

mushing paint together in various ways to see how things resolve.

couple more

these were all 20 minutes of not really knowing what i was doing

i ran out of ultramarine right before i started this (below), which limited my palette even further and forced me to reverse the primary and secondary light sources. so, all in all a happy accident.

this was on hot press paper...oof - a harsh mistress!

figure drawing again

these turned out way better than they had any right to. watercolor and gouache 1, 2, and 5 minute poses.  i went back in a little later to hit up the darkest darks as well as a little color variation (otherwise everything was too wet).
