Squeezed in an Evolution Valley ski tour in the High Sierra. Snow depth in high elevation basins and valleys was incredible but coverage on steep slopes wasn’t as fat, perhaps b/c of colder winter and fewer warmer storms. #backcountry #skitouring #evolutionvalley #sierra #muirpass #splitboarding #muirhut #whitetailedptarmigan #darwinvalley #echocol

Some tone studies. I only started taking watercolor seriously a couple of years ago, and I started with basically the sketch is the painting, but lately I've been thinking a plan could help. I only had an hb for these, so they aren't the most successful in terms of value differentiation, but I like looking at other people's sketches, so maybe you'll like mine. The first one became the painting in my last post.
