New Tiger

2010-09-02T18:29:00.000-07:00

Here is the first piece in progress from Fall 2010 semester....

I decided to start a new tiger. I did a large wash and then shaded the stripes onto the tiger to form the curves of his muscles.

You can also see my fancy new table I built this summer.

This is a self portrait of me... I really wanted to challenge myself with this one and I feel like I learned a lot from the experience. Finishing this really inspired me to push further and really become devoted to my painting. I finally feel like I am getting on a path ....

Piece of a Landscape

" Piece of a Landscape"

Finished November 2009

Watercolor- Van Gogh brand

(15" x 20") on Arches

For this piece I received one part of a full image. My class put all the images together to form one huge watercolor painting. The variety of techniques and styles makes the work as a whole very interesting.... I'll try to snag a picture of it next time...

Swimming in Fall SOLD !!!!

"Swimming in Fall"

Finished October 2009

Gloss Media & Watercolor - Van Gogh brand

(14-1/2"x 21-1/2")

On this one I first coated the paper with a glossy opaque paint, let it dry, and began with the watercolor paint. The glossy coat created an almost plastic surface which caused the watercolor paint to bead up. This created a really unique texture but I didn't really like using it. I would however like to use it in backgrounds and possibly on certain areas of a piece....just not the whole thing. Also the surface of this piece is fragile because of the gloss media, it'll wipe off easily..

SOLD !!!

These are my very first attempts at watercolor painting.

I attend Maryville University and these paintings are from my " Into to Painting" I am extremely fortunate to have Carol Carter introduce this media ... Thank you so so much !!!

These images are temporary because the quality is lacking .... I will re-post them soon !!!

They are in chronological order of creation.
