One of my goals for 2017 was to paint more. It’s often intimidating to get out my easel and a “precious” canvas and jump into a big project that I know will keep me preoccupied from my family for the next week (which is my normal experience). In other words, it doesn’t fit conveniently in my normal life.
So, I followed the design of James Gurney and created my own light and portable pochade easel.
Since then I’ve been trying to paint at least one small 5×7 gouache every week. I’ll try to post some more as I go, but below is a selection:
Week One: The Back Alley
Week Three: For Sale
Week Five: Dreams
Week Six: Appliances
Week Seven: Could this be Spring?
Week Eight: Winter Field
