Portable 54-tins for OPEN Acrylics

Back a few months ago, I created a plein air palette using some aluminum watch parts tins and a container that I had on hand. I wondered at the time - would the paints stay fresh in the tins? The paints themselves, Golden OPEN are wonderful for plein air painting. I've used them in a closed palette before and had them stay usable for months. But I wondered if re-homing them in these tins would work as well. It did. I spoke to the technical folks at Golden about it, and they agreed that … [Read More...]

Sketchbook Skool Articles

Here is a collection of articles I’ve written and associated content for Sketchbook Skool.

Navigate the plethora of palette options to watercolor at home or on-location.
There are as many watercolor palette options as there are colors. It’s limitless.
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, we’ve all been there. You decide to add a person to your watercolor piece, but you can’t quite get it right. It ends up missing something, not looking realistic or as you imagined.
Color theory is the science behind visual harmony in your paintings or drawings. The right color settings help capture the time and scene, ensuring nothing is glaringly out of place.
Just add texture. It not only makes your sketchbook more visually interesting, it’s a great way to experiment and try something new.

Amazing evocative #portraiture artwork by @calidag Amazing evocative #portraiture artwork by @calidagarciarawles . In 'The Space in Which We Travel' (2019), two girls in white dresses grasp each other’s hands, creating the impression of a double helix. “If they opened their eyes,” Rawles said, “they would see each other.” Water has memory. Lovely!

Just finished this little painting in my #sketchbo Just finished this little painting in my #sketchbook over a light pickup #monoprint for the background. I was reading a book on the porch this afternoon during a light rain, and dozed off; only to be woken up by a very annoying little egret sitting atop a palm tree across from me. His antics were so funny that I called my daughter out to hear him. And so I painted it in my sketchbook for a little memory. Can you find the egret?

Working on the courtyard patio. The weather is so Working on the courtyard patio. The weather is so lovely today, and so I dug out some chairs and a table from the garage and our new @abba_patio 7x9 #cantileverumbrella to create a seating area to enjoy. These days staying at home is all about #outdoorliving and creating spaces to nest in, work on the laptop, read a book, sketch some plants or enjoy a cocktail as a family.
