Sequoias




Very hard to show the scale of these MASSIVE trees without a person in the shot. This burned out tree, hollowed from the fire was enormous.

Brush and ink.

Hike




Another hike. On the trail you can only get little sketches in and it's always a bit rough, but you get the idea. Through some water in there for a wash.

Birdie




rapidiograph. I like the way the line worked on this. It's a crap shoot sometimes, cause I don't use pencils, I go straight on the notebook with the ink.

Nevada Falls



On the way to Half Dome, at the top of Nevada Falls. Ball-point pen. Couldn't bring the brush and inks up that high up and risk damage to all my stuff.

Hike




This is from a hike up by Ojai. Can't remember the trail name. Wish I could have put some more definition and shape to the foliage, kinda hard to tell what things are what. Color might have helped on this too.

Again my W&N brush

Park




Brush work at a park that has a life-sized cannon.

Ventura Pier




These two are at the pier, one on the pier looking at the surf-spot C-street and the reverse of that. Again, quick little brush sketches.
