Taking a landscape course and had to do a few cloud studies; this is the first. Rebelle 7 Pro

2nd project for a portrait collage course. Made in Rebelle

I took a portrait collage course, and this is my first project. Fidelia Bridges painted incredible watercolors and landscapes, and the instructor assigned her as the subject.

I took a course on imprimatur/underpainting and enjoyed the effect. I'm just working on adapting traditional skills to digital skills in Reblle.

Michigan Holly, Ilex verticillata, drawn in Rebelle 7. I got the perspective a bit off, but i love the composition overall

This is a simple watercolor and pen drawing of a witch hazel tree in winter bloom with an owl perched on top. I love the witch hazel shrub and am thinking of creating a picture book showcasing the plant throughout the seasons.

Cont. to work on BnW illustrations, I wanted to focus on making the reflections have a realistic quality. I struggle with clouds, but I felt I was most refined here. My BnW's seem to have so much more life and expression than my paintings. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I wanted to show what anxiety feels like for me, something hot, something stuck and entrapped, both present and away, most of all always there.

Im gonna start working on BnW pieces a bit more, and I love roller coasters. Enjoy!

A cyberpunk-style spaceship. I imagined it as a transport ship taking off. Painted in Rebelle 6

I got a little emotional when I heard the Lahaina banyan tree would make it through the Maui fire. I found a reference and painted a watercolor of the new growth. I come from a Navy family and was born in Hawaii. Let me know if I got the transparency and shading right or if it is aesthetically pleasing.

Im trying to remember each part of me has a purpose.

Drawing Prompt Submission

Peony flowers from my garden earlier this year. Bartzella Itoh peony. A bit heavy-handed in my opinion, but I still like the outcome.
