Market view

This is a sketch of a market in Moriches. They have a bit of everything including wine. They are always decorated nicely for Halloween.

 

30x30DirectWatercolor #16 & Holbein Workshop

I am always attracted to umbrellas and if they are red that's the icing on the cake. My 16th 30x30 Direct Watercolor was done at the Greek Bites Gill in Moriches. This time I can say I've been inside and have sampled their food, which is really good. 

Recently the Patchogue Arts Council hosted a Holbein Workshop where the Long Island representative, Jim Minet had us try out assorted Holbein art materials, watercolor mediums,  and Legion papers like Stonehenge and Yupo.

We started with Hobein watercolors on Stonehenge paper using a reference photo. We moved on to Holbein gouache and their acrylic gouache.

We tried painting on Yupo paper, a synthetic, plastic-like surface. I forgot how much fun that was to use...and also how frustrating too.

Jim also had us work on their black paper. The gouache especially worked well on that. In addition we tried the Holbein irridescent medium that can be used with watercolor or gouache.

Below you can see the irridescent medium in the shell I painted. I think all the participants enjoyed the workshop and the freebies that we went home with at the end of the night.

30x30 Direct Watercolor #15

My plein air group met at the West Sayville Maritime Musuem grounds recently. I went out on the dock to paint this. I always worry about dropping something and having it fall through one of the cracks.

For Creative Spark the prompt was a motorcycle. I found two out in Moriches.

 

Lufker Airport

I was passing by Lufker Airport in Moriches when I saw this plane at Lufker Airport. I don't know why the cockpit was covered...but I sketched what I saw. lol

Woods View

With the leaves changing color there are a few spots where the color is pretty intense, like here along Montauk Highway in Moriches.

Inktober Day 30 - Bell Church

I was driving through the Moriches and this church caught my eye. It didn't really have a name on it so I checked where I was on googlemaps and it said this was Bell Church. So here is my Inktober Day 30 sketch...just one more to go.
