I took a 9 day trip to Portland to visit my artist friend Nathan Reidt. Our goal was to paint everyday that I was there. We were going for 15 oil paintings and watercolors were extra. Our goal was quantity and quality. hehe. It was a great jump start to build our confidence. It was super fun. People loved us painting in Portland. Since I started to paint again I mainly worked on landscapes, but in this trip we focused on urban landscapes. This was quite a challenge, because architecture is less forgiving. But it was definitely a learning experience. Here is the first watercolor I did in Portland. It was of a Thai noodle restaurant called Sen Yai noodles. Super yummy. After dinner we sat across the street for an hour or so to paint the restaurant.
I've been so worried to make a "shitty" painting that I don't make any. I've allowed my fear of making art to take over for too long. I've reached my breaking point. I came to the realization that I will not be able to make an awesome painting without making a whole lot of shitty paintings. So here I go...no control z...just mineral spirits!
