quickstudy landscapes

these were done years ago in Craig Nelson's quickstudies painting class.. we went somewhere across the bridge to paint. all i could remember from the trip was that it was COLD!!

believe in me

if not im leaving!this was done out of frustration after getting off work as a 'flash generator', pretty much officially my first try in DI. I didn't go to art school togo back to do what i did 6 years ago. digital painting may not be my forte but i will prove to all who don't believe that i can do it.. WRONG!

what do you do when San Francisco is rarely scorching hot in summer? you go out to paint! maybe it wasn't really a good idea for carissa who hid under her b l a c k brolly 80% of the time.
