Final Figure Painting

My final figure painting for my summer class. I did so many self portraits that I just couldn't paint my face for the last project. So I did everything BUT that. This class went by really fast...but at the same time not fast enough. I learned a lot of techniques and strategies that I will able to use for future painting and drawing. So overall, I found my class a good use of my time! (thankfully)

Figure Painting

One of my more sucessful figure paintings from class....but certainly not the best. Getting the colors right is hard! Nevertheless, I am proud of this one. (sorry for the glare)

Little Flower

I've been taking a life painting class this summer. This my second painting class and the first time I've ever used oil paint! It is a very challenging class, but I am definitely learning alot about color and lighting! Here's a painting I did to practice hands.

Hope

My final illustration for my digital painting class. It was inspired by my favorite song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and has a lot of symbolism in it about having hope. It might be a little difficult to fully understand, but maybe it'll give you something to ponder.

The Red Car

A project focusing on showing action. I need to go back and touch up and adjust a few things...but Finals have to come first!

Brea Art Gallery

Some exciting news came in the mail today! One of my drawings was accepted to hang in the Brea Art Gallery! The show is called Made In California, anyone in California could enter, and my drawing COULD be sold! The show will run from June 1st-June 27th with an opening reception and award ceremony on May 31st. Come and see the show if you get a chance! I will probably send out a reminder when the show starts.

Here's the selected drawing:

Old Figure Study

This is alittle old, but I still like it. This was from my first life studies class I took at Biola. He was such a great model! and I loved working with Charcoal!
