Cambria is a watercolor seascape painted from reference photos that I took while I was in Cambria, CA doing some plein air. In this one, I used a medium to block out the areas of total white. More of my artwork can be seen on my website and my Etsy shop

Sometimes I need to PAINT with real paint before I finish an illustration in the computer. In this case I used hot press illustration board to begin a sea scene for a project I am currently working on.
I like to be able to use my whole arm ( and soul) when I am painting and my sketches and preliminary paintings are usually done on a rather large scale. They will be reduced in the computer to the correct size for the project underway.
I used Dr. Martin's inks and some transparent acrylics for the first stage. Along with that combination I also used a house paint brush, a fan brush and some more conventional sable brushes.
After photographing the preliminary painting I transferred the image to my computer and completed it in Painter. The advantage for me is being able to get darker layers in place without having to wait a day for paint to dry.. and if I don't like a layer... I whisk it away.
In addition to transferring the painting to the computer I was able to stretch the entire image horizontally to accommodate the size I wanted to work with for this book.
If you look carefully you might be able to find two very recognizable constellations. Did you find them?
two stretches: your header too. that's my favorite stretch: lying down :^)

This captures that exhuberant feeling of LIFE! I feel it on cool crisp mornings in the fall. (then I feel like I'm going to die mid-winter) but that LIFE feeling is so wonderful.
The card you did for marja is pretty darn awesome!!
