Over the past few months, I’ve been pushing myself to continue learning. Most recently I was motivated by the exercises in the class on painting that I teach. During the demo’s and in the studio I tried a few new materials, such as the Strathmore 4ply 500 series vellum board, and gouache.

This painting was a gift for a former student who’d won it as a prize during a silly quiz on Star Wars! Andy Gordon was the student, and sent me the photo reference for this painting.

Fun!
