“Clouds” Cedar Park, 2023
I’ve added some clouds and stars to the painting I am working on for my wife. It’s almost done! Only 2 months behind schedule. 🙄

Purple Sky
“Purple Sky” Cedar Park, 2023
I finally painted a purple sky that I like. It’s probably the fourth try! 😫 But I also found a blue-green that I like for the mountains. Next up is the foreground and then some clouds, and I also need to think about the stars. Fun fun fun.
Purples
“Purples” Cedar Park, 2023
Working on the sky portion of a painting, I am trying to recreate some of the purples I saw in Lilo & Stitch.
They’re close, but not quite what I want. So I’ve done some research (on Youtube of course) and ordered the colors of acrylic paint that hopefully will get me there.
A Black Ink Water Brush
“Black Ink Water” Cedar Park, 2019
Tonight I filled my Ohuhu waterbrush with a mix of diluted ink, first with Noodler’s Bulletproof Black. I added just a few drops and painted the background trees. I had to get the paper really wet, and I am not very fond of the way the ink granulated on the watercolor paper. Next, I refilled the brush with water and 10 drops of Kuretake Zig Cartoonist Ink and painted the items in the foreground. I am really pleased with the effect! It reminds me of Chinese ink paintings a bit, since I guess the medium is essentially the same.
It’s fun to “doodle” using the waterbrush and diluted ink. I’ll do more for sure in the future!
I hope you had a nice day!

Watercolor Portrait
“Watercolor Portrait” Cedar Park, 2018
こんばんは。
Tonight I did a watercolor version of a sketch I did a few days ago. It’s so much fun to play with color! I used my Prima “The Classics” watercolors, plus a couple other Windsor & Newton colors that Bay got me for my birthday.
“2017.12.05 Sketch” Cedar Park, 2018
To see all the sketches I’ve been working on, you can check out the Flickr album “My Sketching Journey”, or my Instagram account barron.sketches which I created just for posting sketches, watercolors, and stationery items.
I hope you had a good day!
