Work is getting busy so I decided to do half of the daily painting challenge so this is it for the desert paintings for now. For the rest of the month I’ve got some lovely reference of Japanese store fronts and other sights from Japan
I kinda like this muted crystal gem pallette. Before sunrise is definitely my favorite time of day in the desert
So these giant chairs are a thing in the desert lol. Kindof a fun random thing to see.
We saw a lot of these berry bushes the last time we were in Joshua tree. This next set of paintings is random things we stopped to look at white hiking.
Our first time going out to Yucca Valley/ Joshua tree we drove in at night and it looked like we had stumbled on an alien landscape. All we heard was coyotes though lol.
I think I’m gonna make some mobile backgrounds from these vertically composed paintings. In other news I’m extending my gum road sale through the rest of the month 💜 Save 37% with the promo code gumroad37 all month (does not apply to commission requests) https://gumroad.com/heathergrocock
ok I know I was supposed to do these tiny on my phone but I upgraded my iPad and I’m obsessed with it 😂😂😂
well that came together pretty quick 🤣 I think I’m getting the hang of painting on my phone.
The nice thing about these paintings is I’m not spending more than a couple hours on them so I feel more comfortable about experimenting with different textures.
