Roseneath

Here's a Gouache and Watercolour sketch from this weekend of Roseneath from up Maupuia..
Lots of wind kicked in near the end of this one and I nearly lost my gear down the slope.

  

Shelly Bay

And another bay from the Miramar Peninsula.  This one is also back from 2012.  I've been going through and posting these older sketches each time I finish a new one. I should catch up to 2013 work soon enough. 

Worser Bay

I've been doing these toned sketches using watercolour pencil and a waterbrush for value washes.  It's a bit faster than using color and more convenient for doing these quick studies. 

Also, I brought my daughter along for this one.  She was beside me drawing but found the landscape uninspiring.

view from the Cutting.

This is a view toward  Hataitai from the Cutting done back in 2012.

from Scorching Bay.

Here's a view toward "the Hut" from Scorching Bay.

Here is an old gouache sketch form Will Rogers park back in LA. 

This one is also from a while back. Quick Gouach/Watercolor done from the park on Evan's Bay looking toward the boat houses.

Here's a sketch done a while back while working in San Francisco for a bit. This was at a park at the Palace of Fine Arts.

Guess it's been a while since I've made an update here.
I'm back in wellington and have been doing a few sketches in my available time.
Here is one done from inside my car facing downtown Wellington one rainy afternoon.

Making a Scene - AVATAR

Here's a great feature on some of the work we'd done on Avatar. Lots of our environments in this piece.

Its been a while since my last post. Ive been down in New Zealand working on Avatar for the past year. This is an interesting featurette on the film's making and you can find 3 or 4 mountain environments I've done scattered around the 3:40 to 3:58 mark.
