sunlit pass


From the GoTrain to PortCredit for my last watercolour teaching class of the year. The red water-soluble pen creates a random wash that encourages a spontaneous look.

carry over

During my train ride to the watercolour class I'm teaching, I used a thick Micron artist's pen. It's got a calligraphy nib which is notably fun to use, but conducive to the bumpy ride!

drifted


I'm loving these new artist pens. They are water soluble, so anything goes once I add a splash of water and some watercolour paint!

every other

$60  5x7"painting with 8x10"mat
I loved drawing this! The cars were flying by on the road along side the train that I was sitting in. Then, I painted it with the same vigour and speed as I drew it. One of my faves. : )

train ride on a rainy day

SOLD
This is the second painting of my train ride series. The lines get a little 'train shaky' as I draw them, and I try to keep that energy with watercolour once I add paint in my studio.
$60 - 8x10"painting. Ready for an 11x14"frame.

view from the morning train


I've been teaching a watercolour class just west of Toronto and I've used the commute as inspiration for a few paintings. Fortunately, the GoTrain that I take just briskly coasts through the city, perfect for getting pen lines down and a feel for the landscape as it slips on by.
