Plein air 3-4-'11

Yesterday's plein air sketch. Gouache on moleskine sketchbook.

I used only a few colors for this painting:
-Titanium white
-Ultramarine
-Gold ochre (W&N)
-Burnt Umber
-Greenish yellow (talens)
-Turquoise blue

I created most of the painting with only these colors. In the end, I added a few accents with:
-vermillon (traffic lights and the barriers)
-Cad yellow (foliage in the back left)

Plein air sketch 19-09-2010

Sketch of a street in Rotterdam. These houses will be demolished soon, and have been neglected for a while now. You can see nature taking over. I loved the light when I decided to do the sketch here. It was cloudy, occasionally raining, but also sunny from time to time, which gave the backlit grass a vibrant coloring.

Introduction

Hey guys, thanks for inviting me to participate. I'm glad to be a part of this, seriously cool work. Here are a couple of random sketches from a few months back. I've been doing more pencil work, but I will have to take some good pictures before posting them.
