ANOTHER SHIP

Yeah I know but what else is there to do but model stuff to one day buy a 3D printer and print out my own stuff. Its a dream I have. A little dream but one that keeps me going. So here is another sic-fi warship. Have been out of touch on the ol' sketch up so I had to dust off some of the skills ( basic as they may be) just to remember how to do it. I kept it simple.

more real live authentic analog painting coming soon

PLIEN AIR in the BACK YARD

I painted this view of the hill across the valley from my porch. Palette knife.

Plien Air

So years ago, like 7 + My wife gets me a little pliein air paint box set up. Portable eisle, paint box etc. I buy paint, brushes and everything and then I go out painting right! Wrong! I do nothing and it collects dust. Then this thanksgiving I find it dust it off and actually go out painting. I love it. Now mind you I am just starting out. I prefer Palette knives vs brushes. They just feel more abstract less fussy. Though I must admit I don't entirely know what I'm doing with them yet. But here are three paintings I've done out in the great out doors.

 MANDREWS OUT

 This was done with both brushes and palette knives

The following is all palette knives
