Watercolor Impressions

I went to the Tierpark this Sunday and found myself spoiled from all of the longer drawings I've worked on in the Glyptothek and such. After calming my frustration and watering down my expectations these two very impressionistic paintings came to life.


This was painted outside. The cold air here creeps up on you and suddenly you realize that your body is stiff and shaking. So there's nothing like a hot cup of coffee to warm your insides. Drawn in Col-Erase and painted with watercolor.


Calligraphy style cocks and finches drawing with a Pentel Japanese brush pen and then painted with watercolor.

Also here's a shout out to Joe Weatherly and Chris Ayer and their up-and-coming Paris show.

If you're in the area and are an animal art connoisseur (or art lover) I highly recommend stopping in to soak up the eye candy!

Until next time.
