I painted this tiny beach scene in gouache, focusing on the warm, hazy light and simple shapes of the landscape. I really enjoyed keeping the painting loose and letting the colors do most of the work. #art #gouache #painting #sketch #watercolor

A small loose gouache painting of a beach under warm, hazy light. The scene features simple shapes and shifting warm and cool colors, with a few red marks in the foreground suggesting small rocks or other beach details.

A little abstract cloud study in watercolor using arbitrary colors. I wasn’t trying to paint a specific sky, just playing around with unexpected color combinations to see if I could still create a sense of light, depth, and atmosphere. #art #gouache #watercolor #landscapepainting #clouds #sketch

Abstract gouache painting of a cloud-filled sky using unexpected colors, including soft blues, purples, pinks, and warm tones. The loose, layered brushstrokes create a sense of glowing light, depth, and atmosphere without depicting a specific real-world sky.

In this tiny gouache landscape study from imagination, I wanted to play with color, edges, and texture. It’s really just an improvisation with color as a warmup on a scrap of brown craft paper. 🌟What’s your method of creative warmup? #gouache #art #landscape #painting #watercolor #sketch

Quick architectural gouache sketch just before golden hour, with the low sun hitting the buildings from the side. I loved the effect of the thin sliver of glowing light catching the side of the tower and the buildings on the left. #gouache #sketch #traditionalart #urbansketch #pleinair #city

I painted this five minute gouache sketch from the car on a rainy day at sunset. Five minutes only allows for a few quick color notes, there’s no time for detail. #gouache #painting #watercolor #sketch #art #landscapepainting #pleinair #trees #nature #spring #fineart #buyart #bsnm #clouds #coral

A quick five minute gouache sketch of a lakeside scene at sunset with dramatic clouds filling the sky. A streak of coral light breaks through the cloud cover and reflects softly across the water.

Back to red and green with this spring gouache. I painted this as a simple color study, just trying to see how far I could push those two without losing structure. #gouache #painting #watercolor #sketch #art #landscapepainting #pleinair #trees #nature #spring #fineart #buyart #bsnm

Here is my latest 10 stroke gouache painting.

A quiet winter landscape painted in gouache, using cool blue and gray tones. Snow-covered ground stretches across the scene, dotted with scattered low bushes partially buried in snow. The soft edges and muted contrasts create a calm, atmospheric feeling, suggesting cold air and stillness.

I painted this spring landscape in gouache from imagination. Around here, the snow has just melted and the trees are still bare, in that in-between time, not quite winter, not quite spring. #landscapepainting #art #gouache #watercolor #sketch #spring #trees #colorstudy #fineart #artforsale

Spring landscape with distant mountains under a soft sky. Green fields stretch toward the horizon, dotted with trees, and a winding dirt road leads through the scene.

This winter gouache uses a quieter palette. It feels gray, but all colors come from the primaries, red, yellow, and blue. Red is subtle but important. I’ve been thinking about how little it takes to suggest a season. #art #gouache #sketch #landscape #winter #snow #painting #watercolor

Gouache landscape painting of a snowy scene in gray and blue tones, featuring trees in the snow and a distant tree line.

Back to the same scene, pushed into a higher key and summer light. Bright values and yellowed grass shift the mood, showing how the same landscape can feel like a different season. ✨Which version of the three speaks to you most? #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting #pleinair #nature #creek #summer

I was painting this scene en plein air with a palette knife when the tree suddenly glowed in the last light. The low sun cast a flat horizontal sweep of light, beautiful but hard to capture with almost no tonal contrast. #art #oilpainting #pleinair #landscape #artsky #sunset #sketch #nature #trees

I painted this Josh Clare landscape masterstudy in oil on office paper because I was too lazy to cut proper paper. It works for studies but it’s very absorbent, so you have to keep reloading the brush and the colors darken. #art #painting #oilpainting #masterstudy #landscape #clouds #nature #sketch

Swans rushing across the October sky, their cries echoing through the crisp air. Their flight is wild, loud, chaotic, yet perfectly in sync. I often hear the swans’ calls when I’m out painting in the area and wonder how I might capture those sounds in paint… #photography #landscape #nature #swan

Swans soar across an October sky above a patch of trees. Their white wings contrast with the cool sky, while the trees below glow with autumn colors. The scene captures movement, light, and the crisp feeling of fall.
