Portraits

Well what do you know - after an hour's worth of scanning I have some things to post. These are all from a monster portrait painting class I'm in; by monster I mean that it's 8 or more hours long, usually requires two paintings a week for homework and an in-class painting, and is 25% lecture. So. I have a few more things I'm going to put up but for Blogger's sake I'm going to upload in chunks.

Narrative Color

Last semester I had the opportunity to take a class with Frank Stockton (who's awesome.) It was basically a life-painting class with an emphasis on using color. I learned a lot and also can now successfully(?) wield acrylics. Woo!

Sweater Cat

This was a christmas present for a friend who's a big fan of both cats and sweaters. : ) It was my first time using gouache so I'm still sort of figuring it out, but it's fun and I'll probably work with it more throughout the semester.

Some doodles I did a while back for a project.

Also

This is still sort of work in progress, but hey. I could always use feedback and I have a month long break coming up to make it look better/get better at making things look cohesive in Photosop. It's supposed to be an accident waiting to happen - I chose 4Loko and the internet, aka the mother of all bad combinations.

Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner

I did a series based on the poem by Samuel Coleridge. Here's the first one.

Mo' Sketches

Just some stuff I've been meaning to upload.
