Other Media - Pastels, Watercolor, Acrylics, Mixed Media
Over the years, I've worked in a variety of media, including mixing them to achieve the results I am looking for. I don't believe in a purist's approach, I think they all stand alone quite well but are often best when used for pure creation instead of following rules that limit your creative potential.

One of the painted churches in Texas. I slowed down with this one and differed from some of my usual style. I worked with an ink and wash style, focused on perspective and working in my artist style to create a lasting piece.
Working slower over multiple days has it's advantages at times, tweaking and updating as you move before setting things in ink and paint. Water color isn't as forgiving as some media, so that though goes a long way.
