oil sketch

So I painted up this thing tonight, based on some tweaks Geoff suggested. I used cerulean blue, burnt sienna and white, for a warm/cool effect. I thought it was interesting the mixture of the two had a green tinge - wouldn't violet be more towards the mark?

Anyway, this is gessoed butcher paper, about 10 x 18 or so. I have five more for other studies. So far, I'm digging where this is going.

another experiment inspired by the paintings Vince did a while ago.

Swamp Thumb

Some sketches for a painting request for my mom. Some of the elements: elongated ratio, eroded roots, and an Alexis Rockman style cross-section of the water.

Any of these getting anywhere?
