The past couple days have been full of energy - meeting so many fellow sketchers out at Stary Rynek (Old Market Square)! #urbansketching #urbansketchers #waterfolor #poznan #poland

Sketches from yesterday and today. Breakfast in Gdańsk with a view of St Mary’s Church. Managed to capture “Mr. Periscope” the quirky mascot for this year’s symposium in Poznań.

Day trip to Gdańsk today - I joined a sketch crawl &met other artists from all over the globe. We sketched along Długa Street, by St. Catherine’s Church, an old slaughterhouse/granary & at the Towers of Solidarity. Love this city! #urbansketching #watercolor #gdansk #poland

Yes. Planes and trains! Thx!

Dziękuję!

Last few Berlin sketches in the books - from the Technikmuseum to the Berlin Wall Memorial, and wrapping it all up with a visit to Dark Matter. Auf wiedersehen, Germany… next stop: Poznań, Poland! #urbansketching #watercolor #berlin #germany

Thanks! 3-point perspective is always a fun challenge!

Unfortunately no… I’ve got a train to Poznań at 11a and need to pack still.
😬

Painted the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church today in watercolor. This church is wild with a mix of architecture styles - part bombed out ruins, part modern glass tower. Also, yay for cooler sketching weather today!

Another toasty day in the city—91°! I’m counting down to tomorrow’s promised cool-down into the mid-70s. The best part of today? My sktchy BFF, Danna arrived today from NYC! We caught up over coffee, then set up in front of the Berlin Cathedral (and more) for some quality sketching time!

Thanks!!

Guten tag from Berlin! Reaching 92° this afternoon, it’s definitely a scorcher for sketching and getting your steps in. Taking lots of water and rest breaks, because this city center is massive! #watercolor #ink #urbansketching

Just finished this portrait of a client’s floating home here in Seattle! Commissions are open, so hit me up if you’d love to have your home captured in watercolor! @allancarandang_art

The bees were loving these peonies today! #watercolor #painting #alaska

Painted this fern leaf here in Denali 🌿 Got a little ambitious and definitely overworked it. Posting anyway because not every painting has to be perfect. Still love the process! #watercolor #painting #alaska

Painted these cheerful trollius—aka globe flowers. Part of the buttercup family and super common in Alaska this time of year! #watercolor #painting #alaska

Lupine are starting to come up! Painted this purple one while out and about 💜

Thank you! 🙏🏽

Finished a watercolor detail of a pine tree here in Denali Park, Alaska — feeling “sappy” and really “pining” for this place! 🌲😉 #watercolor #painting #alaska

Urban sketch of The Santa Claus House in North Pole, Alaska. It’s year-round Christmas cheer up in here! #urbansketch #alaska #northpole

Calling it a wrap on this carved block — it’s served me well, and I sacrificed it for a three-color reduction print. This one was a lot of fun to make, & I’m getting excited as I gear up for another artist residency in Alaska next month! #Printmaking #ReductionPrint #ArtistResidency #StudioUpdates

Thanks!! It’s the Canson Artist Series Montval Watercolor Paper, Wirebound Pad, 10x7 inches

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

Much appreciated!!

All the good energy today made for such a fun sketch session!

Poulsbo’s got it going on—pleasantly surprised by this fun little town! Wrapped up the day with one last sketch down at the marina. #urbansketchers #urbansketching #watercolor #poulsbowashington

Thanks!! 🎨

Thank you!
