It's been a while since I've gone to a drawing session much less go with gouache in hand. Felt rusty this morning but that was overtaken by the sheer joy of just doing it.

Although I don't live in Seattle anymore I got a unexpected write up. Pretty need, check it out.

This was suppose to be a two session painting but it's looking like the model won't be posing for it at the open session I go to.  I was looking forward to finishing it, oh well at least I got some nice things happening with the start.

I went out to paint the poppy fields for the first time. I was told that it was a rather lame year and there isn't going to be huge fields of orange. I did manage to get this painting done and I look forward to going next year.
