My process starts out most of the time with thumbnail pencil sketches or an idea comes to me and just start drawing in my sketch book or take picture that inspires me. I work with acrylic paints I limit my pallet to warm and cool colors of red, yellow, blue,  burnt umber and white.  Then I do color thumbnail sketches to work out details of light, mid, and dark color tones.  That is my general work flow.  My work is more abstract or Impressionist and I am starting to add illustrative feel to my painting so we will see where that goes. Thanks so much for your interest in how I create my art.
