.older sketch.

 yah.... it's a fallen tree.... if you squint your eyes it might look like a fallen tree   :p
it was my first attempt painting the outdoors,,,,haha

i was testing some cheap watercolour brushes, i like the looseness of  this sketch since it was harder for me to control the brushes. 9x12

20x30
they were all done in year 2009-2010

.zorn palette.

no crimson, no ultramarine

vadim's class

this year, one of my biggest decision is to take a oil painting class and boy i'm loving it. i've always admire vadim's work and his class has been a great experience. he shows you what he meant by giving you a quick personal demo on 1/2 of your canvas.  he always wants you get better and pushes you to get there. we used zorn palette this week. i am amazed with all the color variation with the mix of just 2 color + bk/wt. vadim's class has been a great help. highly recommended.
