Dream wave

Catch the stoke. Had a blast doin this piece. Started with the light blue and then went light then came back around to do the dark of the wave. Then i did the sky followed by the sand and plants last. I think from now on i will be painting in sections like that instead of all blue, all green, all red.... Because you forget what you are going for if you leave to paint another section

Lip shack

My wife n baby took off for the day so i wanted to pump another surf piece out. Got too nervous to do detailed sea animals which i will be experimenting with soon. For some reason, i cant blend as well as drew brophy and my waves look very layered. Still look cool, but i want them to look more blended in the future. Im a pro at those cool little flowers now and tried a new sun out which looks way cool and does something totally different to the scene

Posca on canvas

Someone has asked me to pain him 2 paintings. This one is roughly 12in across. Did not base the canvas which made it really hard to blend the colors because the pens dry so fast.

Water Color Tray with imagination

I decided to paint a bit on my lunch break between classes, so i sat on a bench and just went for it. I thought of a romantic night in France, which inevitably leads me to thinking about the ocean and waves! My sketch paper is not exactly water color ready, as you can see! I recently went out and got a watercolor field pad and i am looking forward to using it in the near future! hopefully it will be full by the end of Christmas!

First paintings using acrylics

This is the results of my first time putting acrylic on paper. It actually came out pretty cool seeing as that I have never painted a wave before EVER!! I think i am going to be drawing more ocean scenes in the future. Acrylic is strange to mix with, I only have blue, red, yellow and green. No white or black. It has been truly educational re-learning the color wheel





I was painting this Koi Fish and was amazed how good it was begining to look, i decided to dedicate it to my friend Jaime for her birthday party we were going to that day and gave away my first painting. It is a big step, giving away a piece of art. It is humbling, embarrassing because you dont know if the person will want it or if they feel they have to take it. But her and Stewart seemed genuinely excited about the painting! I painted it on a Macy's box (the white slick box you put clothes in) and I really liked using that surface. The only flaw of this painting is that the ball point I used to draw the painting showed through the paint, and I thought it would be covered up. I also highlighted certain parts of the Koi with Sharpie. So it is also my first "Mixed Media" piece as well.
