MY MATERIALS
I use a water bin, an old listerine bottle to carry water in, masking tape, Winsor and Newton watercolors, white gouache, brushes (mostly Princeton and Robert Simmons white sable Flats), sketchbooks and a small hiking pack they all fit in. The sketchbooks are heavy weight, acid free craft paper made by Canson (can be found as a scrapbook in the photo album section of art and stationary stores, product # 541-2022).
The studies are done small and quickly. Most are less than 3x5" and completed in 40 minutes or less.

Permanent white designers gouache
winsor lemon
winsor yellow deep
yellow ochre

pthalo green (winsor green blueshade)
permanent sap green

Love this one. Really appreciate the step by step a few posts previous as well.
I don't suppose you are the San Diego Comic Con this year? Would be great to meet up. I've been thinking of moving out to California lately and would appreciate your advice.
Hope you are well!
Thanks for posting sketches. Your art is really big inspiration for me. It makes me want to go out and paint landscapes from life every time I visit your blog :).
Thanks guys, always appreciate your comments.
Tom, I'll be at Comicon doing a charcoal demo at the Laafa booth, come on by. More info in my next post.
Magical scene.
do you mix your watercolors with the white gouache in order to get them so opaque, or are you just using them really thick?
Wow!!!! I like it very much...¡¡Congratulatins, it's fantastic...
Greetings,
Enrique.
