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.

Other Breadth

Still life done last year in acrylic, maybe use for breadth

Linoleum and Concentration research.

For this assignment in class the instructions are to do a series of linoleum prints . We have been studying the style of Ukiyo-e prints, and Ancient Japanese printmaking. The style should be idealized and illustrative. I love the detail and colors of the prints. I think that the technique of doing the print then going back in with water color is a really smart idea and I love how it adds to the picture. I still don't know what my subject will be, therefore I will continue to research.

For my next concentration piece I'm thinking about doing maybe some caves, or rock formations.

Like Stalagmites and stalactites or maybe mines.

Concentration : Aurora Borealis

I like doing concentration. It's more relaxing. I really love doing landscapes. The earth is so beautiful. Landscapes are so vast and original, so I love to paint them, You can't get bored. This piece I did a sky scape of the Northern Lights. The Aurora Borealis is caused by the magnetic pull at the top of the earth. The Lights are amazing because the come in so many different colors, and sizes and shapes. I don't have the picture yet,but I will put it up soon.

Embellishment Project

For this assignment the theme was embellishment. I did A lot of projects and just couldn't get the idea out. I started over 4 times, and I did the best that I could.
