Fire in Wood


Dimensions: 9" 13". I used white charcoal and prisma colors on black paper. I actually really like it. There was nothing I believe went wrong. I rather black and white pictures but after applying the color I did end up being pleased with it.

Experimental Watercolor Portrait

This is my experimental watercolor portrait. I used the straw blowing technique on the hair and the spritz bottle in the background. I used a triadic color scheme of Orange, Purple and Green. The dimensions are 11" 15". I like her face a lot better than my own because I obviously used to much water on my face so the paper started to deteriorate and caused paper pulp. So it looks bad. Even though it is hard to tell in this picture there is a few spots where the paint dripped onto parts where it wasn't suppose to. We came to the conclusion to replace the tape that is blocking off the other parts everytime to avoid that I however was kindy happy with it!

Eraser Drawing

This is my eraser drawing i did recently in class. With my theme nightlife I choose to have a car going over a long road in the mountains at night. Then I choose a mustang for the car just because I love mustangs. This piece is done fully with charcoal. One thing I like is the car itself and the contrast between the car and the road. However the color i put into the headlights I would have liked to been able to extend out more so like it is actually in the air but it didn't work because of the darkness of the road and the side effects of the charcoal. The dimensions are 11" by 17".
