Here’s a second version of a scene that I posted a couple of months ago in a different weather condition. This time it’s painted in oil paint. Originally it was just a pencil sketch with a little watercolor tone on parts of it, but it was rough and wasn’t really showing the light the way I wanted. After sealing the paper with acrylic medium, as usual, I painted over it with oil paints. Between the two, which one do you prefer? #allaprima #oilpainting #sketchbook #oilonpaper #traveljournal #moleskine #moleskineart #m_artcollection #sketchbookart #Colorado #contemporaryrealism #landscapepainting #colorfulcolorado #mountainart #rockymountains #mountainmonday

Last November I painted this scene in my sketchbook with gouache, and I decided to repaint it as a slightly larger oil painting on a panel. The size is 6x9" (15.24 x 22.86 cm). There's a few other studies in this sketchbook that should probably be repainted larger. #oilpainting #landscapeart #landscapainting #mountainart #oilonpanel #winterart #winter #coloradoartist #snowymountains #frontrange #Colorado #traditionalart #masterpiececanvas #newart #contemporaryrealism #lightandshadow #fineart #art #painting

Here's a new painted page in my sketchbook. It's some ivy that I recently got, but it was drawn and painted from a photo. The top page has a different angle of the same plant. I'd like to do a live stream painting demonstration for the top page, but I'm still getting over a cold and coughing some. #sketchbook #moleskine #m_artcollection #moleskineart #oilpainting #coloradoartist #davincibrushes #oilonpaper #originalart #contemporaryrealism #realism #newart #botanicalillustration #botanicalart #traditionalmedia #illustration #traditionalart #stilllife #stilllifepainting #allaprima

When I was actually making this painting days ago I wasn’t sure where I had taken the reference photo, but yesterday I passed by the place again and recognized it. This little scene is a short distance east of the Moffat Tunnel in the Front Range mountains of Colorado. I started with a base layer of blue acrylic gouache, drew a basic underdrawing, and painting over it all with acrylics. #sketchbook #acrylic #acrylicart #acryliconpaper #acrylicartist #traveljournal #moleskine #moleskineart #m_artcollection #sketchbookart #Colorado #contemporaryrealism #landscapepainting #colorfulcolorado #mountainart #rockymountains
