Postings of my various and sundry attempts at something like art
I was watching another tutorial video by James Julier on sea sunsets . I was inspired to make my own, based on an old photo — I can’t place exactly where the original was, but it was a rocky beach, somewhere on the west coast near Santa Cruz. The project post gives more info and intermediate steps.
I watched and followed part of a tutorial on YouTube, from James Julier, on painting a digital landscape of trees with mountains in background. I departed from the tutorial partway through, but still a good time.

I took some photos of some pretty flowers near my PT facility. Turns out they were Stella D’oro blossoms. I did this all day yesterday, I really like how it turned out. The blog entry for this is https://tamouse.notion.site/Stella-D-oro-9a9c0e47b361484a90949bb40a5cc7d3 .
This was something I did a couple years ago. One of my early explorations of digital art, this felt like using markers rather than watercolour painting, which is fine. Find the project blog entry at https://tamouse.notion.site/Rainy-SF-Street-abedb69e655b48cbb239f18226350959 .
Doing things a little differently this time. Instead of writing my blog post here, I wrote it using Notion.so.
For the new year, I am trying to do some art making every day. Today I wanted to work on some watercolours, but my hands were so cold, I couldn’t hold a brush very effectively.
Instead, I went to the iPad, and was able to do stuff under the covers.

The source image was from watercolour class, but I thought it would make a great watercolour painting.

So yesterday’s version of the China Canal sorta sucked. So I decided to do it again, taking more time with the sketching and inking.
