Gouache landscape canyons at sunset

46/100 of my #100daychallenge. One thing I love about the Highlands are the beautiful rocks that can be found scattering the hills and valleys. Sometimes you stumble upon standing stones. Sometimes huge boulders. Sometimes mossy beds. It feels ancient. It feels like there’s a story there.

37 and 38 of my #100daychallenge. For these two days I decided to play with some creative colors. The first one (37) was a two color challenge, which I explain in this video. For #38 I used more colors, but played with some more pink/purple tones on the shore just for fun.

Gouache paintings of snowy trees have a sense of magic to them… I can’t put my finger on what it is but I think it has to do with all the lovely dry brush textures.
