Last week I posted a watercolor from a year or so ago and it got me started on the series again. Laid up in bed (or rather in a chair) for a few days I gathered my brushes and spent a few hours out of doors. I am not a green person but I kind […]
View post →I don’t think I have posted this one yet. I was never really happy with the scale and design. A little harbor on the Hudson I pass often. Yet it always seems to turn up when I am looking through watercolors. Each time it grows on me a little more. For some reason I remember […]
View post →I don’t mind the cooler weather at all, nor a little rain (OK, a lot of rain, but it seems to have stopped)—the one great benefit of the strange weather is the strange weather. Weird grey fog rolling across the Hudson with pops of emerging greens and pink colors. A few of the thumbnails from […]
View post →Winter is just days away now, much to the dismay of many here in the North East. I however revel in it. I always have. The first snow, the bitter cold winds. Yes, I may very well be insane, but there is something just invigorating to me about a cold winter day. Still autumn, but […]
View post →One last tree still pretending that autumn is not coming to a close. In all fairness it has been mild compared to last week and the fog did obscure the other trees. Maybe someone should tell the leaves to go.—Dominick FREE BOOK GIVEAWAY! In our new Facebook group, One Watercolor A Day, (view it HERE) […]
View post →Obviously my past few posts have been leading up to a month of watercolors. For the fun of it I am going to try and do one watercolor a day and post them on my personal blog. I’ll post them before next Thursday when I am up again. And after a little hiatus we have […]
View post →Another quick watercolor of the autumn landscape. Every year brings a different burst of color. Usually with it being so dry as it was in the North East the colors are so vibrant. Not sure what caused such color this year.—Dominick
View post →I never really got the whole idea of leaf peepers, but then again I have always lived in a pretty magical spot. The Hudson Valley is beautiful this time of year and continues into early December with some random vibrant spots. Maybe not worthy of a weekend trip, but certainly worth watching for as you […]
View post →I won’t call the weekend in Chicago an escape, but to clear the entire agenda and only fill it with drawing is something that even on the best days in New York seems near impossible. On our way back we turned south and made a detour in Pittsburgh for the night. As we packed up […]
View post →The truth is I don’t reach for watercolor when I work most often. I use it all the time, but not really in a “pure” sense of the medium. It is usually mixed heavily with caran d’ache crayons (water soluble of course) or anything else I have in my bag at the time. So when […]
View post →You wouldn’t think it was December four by the weather. Warm and grey all the way. —Dominick
View post →Something about the dark brown trunks against the palettes of yellows and oranges makes me always stop.—Dominick
View post →I spotted this bright patch of golden trees.—Dominick
View post →I came across this sketch I made as an option for an editorial commission. The illustration that was chosen was a bit different. ~Despina
View post →It is finally starting to look like autumn. Today it feels like it too. —Dominick
