Lamppost in Gouache

Lamppost in Gouache

This sketch in gouache was done on a sunny day but it looks like a night painting. I guess this is what happens when you lay off painting for a few months.

The colors are too dark and too cold.

I will return to this spot and try again. I’ll make sure to take a photo for comparison later on.

Painting in Ucluelet

Here’s what I saw from our room with a view.

This is the furthest west that I’ve ever been. By far, one of the most beautiful places that I’ve ever seen in Canada.

Next time I go back, I’ll make sure to paint more.

Below is the right side of the landscape Moleskine watercolour sketchbook in a 8.25″ × 5″ size.
