Day 4, painting #1, Crater Lake, Oregon inspired by @scott_schmidt24. Here's another fun fact. Crater Lake wasn't caused by a meteor but by a volcano that collapsed. The big hole – the caldera – is half filled with water and makes the lake. #snow #craterlake #craterlakenationalpark #nps100 #centennial @nationalparkservice #nationalparks #findyourpark #goparks #wip #pencildrawing #rebeccashapiroart #workinprogress #findyourpark

Day 47, painting 9 of #100daysofscottishlandscapes. Loch Katrine inspired by @thesecretcelebrity. More layers and I made a little video (two posts back). The sloping hills and wee bitty trees are very relaxing to paint. #lochkatrine #travelscotland #Scotland #loves_scotland #scottishhighlands #landscape_lovers #naturelovers #adventuretime #loves_mountains #postcardstomyself #watercolor #portland #pdx #pdxart #pencildrawing #wip #workinprogress #greatoutdoors #getoutside #hillwalkingscotland #outlander #painteveryday #artshaper #rebeccashapiroart

Day 3, painting #1, Crater Lake, Oregon inspired by @scott_schmidt24. Whoowee! Those bits of rock poking through the snow are taking their time. Here's another fun fact about Crater Lake. The average snowfall is 533 inches or 44 feet every year! In 1932 they had 73 feet of snow! #snow #craterlake #craterlakenationalpark #nps100 #centennial @nationalparkservice #nationalparks #findyourpark #goparks #wip #pencildrawing #rebeccashapiroart #workinprogress #findyourpark

I thought it would be fun to make a little video! Laying down more washes on painting #9, Loch Katrine inspired by @thesecretcelebrity. Intermission over…more later!#lochkatrine #travelscotland #Scotland #loves_scotland #scottishhighlands #landscape_lovers #naturelovers #adventuretime #loves_mountains #postcardstomyself #watercolor #portland #pdx #pdxart #pencildrawing #wip #workinprogress #greatoutdoors #getoutside #hillwalkingscotland #outlander #painteveryday #artshaper #rebeccashapiroart

Day 46, painting 9 of #100daysofscottishlandscapes. Loch Katrine inspired by @thesecretcelebrity. When I first started doing watercolor it was hard to trust that it takes anywhere from 3-5 washes before I get the color where I want it to be. I still get a little twitchy wondering if I'll be able to do it (make a painting again-you'd think I'd be used to it by now) but there's also this absolute bliss in laying down the first washes and watching the white paper disappear beneath transparent colors. #lochkatrine #travelscotland #Scotland #loves_scotland #scottishhighlands #landscape_lovers #naturelovers #adventuretime #loves_mountains #postcardstomyself #watercolor #portland #pdx #pdxart #pencildrawing #wip #workinprogress #greatoutdoors #getoutside #hillwalkingscotland #outlander #painteveryday #artshaper #rebeccashapiroart

Day 2, painting #1, Crater Lake, Oregon inspired by @scott_schmidt24. I can tell this one is going to take a while like the Buachaille Etive Mòr piece I just finished. Lots of puzzles to solve which I like! Here's a fun fact about Crater Lake. At 1,943 feet, it is the deepest lake in the US making it the 9th deepest lake in the world! And it has a little microscopic animal that lives in those waters called algaphogopsis. #algaphogopsis #craterlake #craterlakenationalpark #nps100 @nationalparkservice #nationalparks #findyourpark #goparks #wip #pencildrawing #rebeccashapiroart #workinprogress #buachailleetivemor

A few days ago I said I had a fun announcement and then crickets chirped (see previous post). So, here’s my fun announcement! Painting #1, Crater Lake, Oregon inspired by @scott_schmidt24. 2016 is the centennial of the U.S. National Park Service (est. 8.25.1916). The NPS has stewardship over 408 National Parks. In celebration, I’m going to paint some of my favorite National Parks this year (wish I could do them all) beginning with Crater Lake in Southern Oregon. I'll also share fun tidbits about each park as I post progress shots of the painting. I want to do this because I’ve often talked about how art is a gateway where we can meet on common ground. I also see our national parks (any national park, really) as a gateway, too.This project will run in tandem with my Scotland project as I continue to traipse about painting a countryside I have yet to stand on (soon!). #craterlake #craterlakenationalpark #nps100 @nationalparkservice #nationalparks #findyourpark #goparks #wip #pencildrawing #rebeccashapiroart #workinprogress
