Plein Air after midterm

These Are paintings that I did from marr park near the UCM campus.

This is a pastel I did the colors came out really bright I think it looks a little like a fairy tale.

Latest Plein Aire

This is a quick little master study I did of one of Maxfield Parrish's landscapes/Illustrations. His color usage reminds me of the psychedelic fantasy illustration done during the 1960s. I think it has something to do with with his complementary shadow colors.

This is small painting I did on the UCM farm of some distant rolling hills I wanted to try and capture the roundness of the hills hopefully I did this.

This is a larger version of the above painting.

More Draw-a-Thon

Here are some more images from Draw-a-thon. These are all pastel, I actually think I learned quite a bit in this years draw-a-thon, maybe draw-a-thon isn't all that bad.

The UCM farm

These are some studies I did out at the UCM farm, this was probably my most favorite spot we have painted this far in our class. I tried to keep all these really small in size and quick.

Here are some of many images from Draw-A-Thon

This is one I did on Tuesday Night drawing.

This is a landscape I did from my Colorado trip, It was a giant rocky gorge in the middle of the mountains south of pikes peak. I would of liked to have done an on location painting but it was getting ready to rain.

Plein Air Week 5

This week I focused more on architecture, the first one I did was this gorgeous old rundown Victorian house a little north west of downtown Warrensburg.

This is a painting I attempted of the courthouse in downtown Warrensburg. I think one of the successes of this painting was how I laid down color in a broad manner in the beginning and not really being to concerned with the detail. But when I took it indoors to touch it up I think I tightened up the rendering and ruined it. One success I've hac this semester is limiting my self on time I'm trying to keep these between 1 to 2 hours.
