Concentration:Pyramids

So this is my final piece for concentration. I'm a bit sad, but also relieved. I chose to do the pyramids because they represent Egypt which is a part of me . It was fun to paint the desert because I haven't done anything like it this year.

Concentration

This piece is of Cabo. I've really been wanting to paint an ocean and rock scene.I used watercolor and colored pencils. I really loved the turquoise with the gray rock. I wanted this piece to be a bit more illustrative rather than realistic . I like how it turned out.

Concentration: Gorme Valley

Hey well this concentration is of a mountain range in Greece. I used Watercolor, Colored pencil,and chalk.

Castle Concentration

]I really have been dying to paint a building. I really love castles because they are so magical.. Right? They're in all the fairy tales. I did this in Watercolor with a little colored pencil. I wanted to be very pastely but I think that the bushes on the bottom destroy that. I might go back and add some colored pencil to the Castle to make it stick out.. It might make the piece stronger...

Concentration

This was my next concentration piece. It actually turned out to be one of my favorite pieces out of everything I've ever done. I think I did really well on it. It is a scene of trees in a park, and it is done in Watercolor and colored pencil. I really love this one.

Lino Print

This time we are doing Linoleum Prints. I'm not very excited because I hate using Linoleum. The Entire process just annoys me. We had to study printmakers and illustrators. Our Print had to be based on an Idiom So mine was " A few sandwiches short of a picnic".

Concentration: Aurora Borealis

So this a piece for my concentration. I've done very few skyscapes so I decided to add this one. The Aurora Borealis or otherwise called the northern lights are natural lights caused in the sky around the poles where their magnetic fields are the strongest. I think that this piece is alright. I really wanted the black to be VERY dark so I could show how bright the sky is. I'm glad that I did it in Acrylic , because I don't think that water color would have worked very well.
