Waterfall Sketch

Post author By admin
Post date July 8, 2015

I recently went hiking in Shenandoah National Park. This waterfall was on a nine mile hike with nine waterfalls. I did not have a chance to do any sketching on site because I was with a group, but I took many photographs. I did this quick study in the studio after returning. I have been working on getting quicker at establishing a painting and being more efficient. I think I’m going to do more time limit sketches in the future.

Yosemite Valley

This painting was the result of a trip to Yosemite National Park last summer. Within the square canvas, I was striving for a circular composition. The dark green of the valley forest and the darker upper sky forms a ring around the lighter, cooler space between the granite cliffs. It was challenging to create such extreme depth through the valley floor. The space at Yosemite is just amazing and almost incomprehensible.
