Winter Plein Air

Painting plein air in the winter is definitely a challenge! One has to try to finish a piece before the light changes dramatically and before one's fingers freeze off. It's been cold here on the East Coast but I still felt the need to get out and paint.

More Scratchboard Fun


Decided to work on a seasonal scratchboard illustration. Once I finished the original piece, I then scanned it into my computer and added color in Photoshop. I think I'll do some more of these types of illustrations. They are a lot of fun to do!
