It would be easy as a native of Southern California to take the light here for granted...but I've found it's the thing that I always notice first in a scene--no matter the season.
Some of these sketches were made with watercolor and gouache on tan paper--when I have the luxury of time to develop the story a bit. I love working this way because it means intentionally painting the light...
Sketching over coffee in La Canada...
Or in Los Angeles...
Late afternoon with fading light in Pasadena...
At the Autry Museum...
Waiting for my car being repaired...a perfect sketching opportunity on a corner in Pasadena...
