Kia Ora, I'm Sam, and Duskbrink is where I share my art. I create a mix of ink sketches, watercolors, and gouache paintings, inspired by the places I've been and the people I love.
My subjects shift depending on what pulls at me: quiet nature scenes, buildings that tell a story, and ocassionally people who remind me how beautiful life is. Whatever feels like it needs to be painted.
I don't limit myself to just one medium or style, and I'm not in a hurry to settle into one. Dusk is a time for winding down, and as such, Duskbrink is about taking a breath and reflecting. It's in exploring the process and living in the moments between the rush that we grow.

My favorite materials
Ink fine liners
I'm not locked into any brands. Fine liners are the staple of my practice and I take them with me everywhere. Freehand sketching in ink is so satisfying"
Gouache paints
I love these jelly cups by Himi. Totally worth the wait time it takes to ship them in from the US. I'm really not a fan of tubes and these work as well as pans.
Lightwish journal
I'm still exploring different options for paper and journals, but so far my favourite is this little watercolour journal I got from Lightwish. The 300gsm paper is top notch and doesn't mess with the paint at all. Love it!
Watercolours
I've tried a bunch of different types and keep coming back to this super simple pan set I got from Shuttle Art. It's cheap but gets decent results. I'll probably upgrade once I have the financial resources to invest more.
