I work at a part time job two days a week. This
is my final month and I am counting off the days! Since I did not have a
lot of time to work on painting and drawing today I decided to do a
study of a plein air wave study I painted over a year ago. Here is the
plein air study,

I decided to
use graphite pencil and gouache to make the study. I wanted to see if I
push some of the light and dark nuances with gouache. Here is the study
I painted today:

It isn't an
exact copy of course, I mainly wanted a bit of reference material to
practice with. Creating a study like this also keeps me moving forward
when there isn't much time to work on drawing or painting due to
whatever reason. I am still new to using gouache and am enjoying seeing
what I can do with it.
Tonight I
will be working on my musical part of life. My band is beginning the
process of making our second CD. That is always exciting, and a lot of
work. Very satisfying work I might add. The similarities between art and
music are abundant. Probably why so many artists I know of are also
musicians!
I might draw a similar study of a Fredric Waugh painting tomorrow. It would be interesting to try.
