Self Portrait cont.

Well, I've drawn out the designs on the three 24"x18" canvases and started painting the first one.  I'm really happy with what I've done so far; unfortunately, it took me all Saturday to do it.  These paintings have so many details that they are going to take me forever to finish!!!! Ahhhhhh!

I like to watch the painting evolve in the pictures! 

Self Portrait

Our latest Surface Research project is a self portrait except we don't have to make it a portrait.  For example, if we like puppies then we could do a painting of puppies and it is a self portrait.  I am doing a three canvas panel that illustrates a fairy tale that I wrote.  Here are concept drawings and designs.

Okay, I can't seem to upload more pictures so I will try again later.

Color

These two pieces were an exercise we did in class. 

I painted the black and white piece first (it is india ink on watercolor paper).  The colored piece is acrylic paint on canvas.  The original picture for these abstractions is actually one of the five "close-ups" of a charcoal hand piece (from the 14) posted on September 11th.  Can you figure out which one it is?

Big Print

Final 2!!!!!

Okay, here are my final 2!!!!!

Not done yet!!!!

With this project, we have to choose one subject, such as a portrait or an object, and show it move from the foreground to the middle ground to the background.  If you haven't guessed, my object is a "ring".  No, not a hand; although I really like all of my hand pieces.
