Landscape Value studies
As an exercise to understand value I created two paintings of a landscape image that I found on the internet. The first painting is a 5-value black and white painting and the second image is a two value painting. Despite the restrictions in color I find both images to be believable and somewhat realistic, this just shows how limited you can be in your methods and still create a intriguing piece of artwork.
More Tree Paintings
Here are three more monochrome tree paintings. Oil on paper, from reference photos.

Tree Paintings
Here are a series of studies in oil on how light interacts with tree forms. Each painting was done in a monotone color palette so i could focus purely on value relationships. No more than three colors were used in any of these paintings.
My First (real) Plein Air Landscape Painting
I intend to get more involved in Plein Air landscape painting in the future - this being my first foray into the wide world of painting from real life. Part of this painting was finished in my "studio" (bedroom) but hey, I think it's a good start. Enjoy.
Repetition and Negative Space
Bored in my art history class this past week, figured I would pass the time by making hundreds of tiny marks on my notebook paper. Note how negative space works here to define various shapes without the use of line.
Abstraction
This is one step in the process of a large oil painting I am working on at the moment. This piece of paper serves a totally utilitarian purpose and wasn't intended to be a piece of artwork in-and-of itself. Despite this fact, I found it to be truly and abstractly beautiful and subsequently I am here displaying it to you. I hope you like.

Seattle Art Museum Sketches
Took a trip to the SAM today and brought along my sketchbook to do some quick studies. I mostly concerned myself with value relationships in the various paintings in an ongoing effort to grow further away from line. Yea, enjoy

Landscape Prints
Some preliminary prints from the copper plate I showed a few posts ago. Still needs some work. The finished product will hopefully look a lot different. Shoot me. . .
