While training for DreamWorks "The Prince of Egypt" we went on a painting trip to Death Valley California. I've since gone back many times; here's a quick sketch of the entrance to the Valley.
Death Valley2
Onward into death valley from the scene we looked at yesterday. Deathly hot and dry but you get rich colors at dusk!
Local Trees!
Grove of trees down the street, painted this one tiny since it was on the fly. I'll try to track down the sketchbook to show you the context if you'd like.
Spirit Roughs!
Here are a couple of quick roughs that I had done to set up the scene from yesterday's "Spirit" post. I've always loved doing quick roughs :)
Spirit!
Location rough from Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron, acrylic on Crescent #100 board.

Hey Nathan Fowkes, I'm a huge fan of your work and I've noticed that for these small sketches you seem to start with a burnt sienna/orange base (or is it the toned paper showing through)? Is this something you do for pretty much every scene? I've been taught it helps to key in the painting's colors better but just wanted to hear what you might have to say about it... and sorry if it's something you've talked about somewhere else!
Thanks again for posting so much of your work here, it's really a pleasure to see!
