Painting at Double Peak Park in San Marcos

I got to paint with a new group at Double Peak Park. It was very cold and I kept wanting to quit but I kept at it.

Heidi Swapp Book Structure

 I took this #bookbinding course from @heidiswapp to learn a new #bookarts structure. Her book was a #memorybook made with #decorativepaper of different lengths. I made mine with my #vwbus #sticker old #watercolor #paintings and #pastepaper my book pages are all the same length and blank so that I can use it for a #sketchbook @ San Diego, California

Bermuda - Map Crunch Drawing

I recently started doing value studies when painting. This sketch was created from Map Crunch. The value study was done with 3 water brushes filled with various amounts of ink and water.  
The colored sketch was done with a pencil and watercolor.
