Another rainy drive. It is not rainy today, but I had some colors left over from yesterday. I think I'm getting the hang of #gouache finally. 😂 #dailydrawing #artstr #art #painting

A rainy drive. I realized I've never tried to draw a rainy day. It's very #impressionist. Fun challenge. #dailypainting #artstr #painting #gouache

Painted temple study. I thought it would be fun to try to use black gouache. Black is a tough color to paint with because when it mixes with other colors it mutes and muddies them. #dailypainting #artstr #painting #art #gouache

A busy Temple. I think the inkwash turned out nicely. #dailydrawing #artstr #sketchstr #ink

Tried something a little more technical. Made with a pilot kaküno #fountainpen Might go back in with an ink wash for the darker areas I left blank. #dailydrawing #artstr #sketchstr #pen Listened to Britney Spears' audio book while making this. Allegedly, during her conservatorship under her abusive dad she managed to put away some of her wealth in Bitcoin. It's terrible what people will do to you out of greed.

The entrance of a Japanese temple. Painted with Japanes watercolors. They are slightly different to regular watercolors, I find they are more opaque, but not like gouache. Hope everyone is staying safe. #dailydrawing #artstr #sketchstr #watetcolor

Tried out some Huie Chinese Ink Blocks. You have to grind them in some shallow water to make an ink paste. It was kind of intimidating to use. #dailydrawing #ink #artstr #sketchstr #proofofwork

Just some leaves. This one was a challenge. Might have to revisit or retry. The paint is still wet, I ran out of time 😅 #dailydrawing #artstr #paintstr #art #gouache #proofofwork

I'm only on the Forward of the book I'm reading and I'm hit with this sentence.. "This is the terror: to have emerged from nothing, to have a name, consciousness of self, deep inner feelings, an excruciating inner yearning for life and self-expression - and with all this yet to die." Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death Excuse me. I just need a moment. #dailydrawing #artstr #sketchstr

Progress of Impression of a Cat. I have to let the paint dry. I think I'll just add some more detail to the face and call it done. The paper is starting to warp 😅 #gouache #painting #proofofwork
