Oil Paint Practice

Decided to try practicing with oil paints earlier.  

Quite the experience.

Oil Rub

This has to be one the greatest (and strangest) combination of mediums that I've come across. It has a nostalgic quality that can't quite be captured with any other method (that I've been exposed to).
I'm excited about developing with this process.

Water Color

Been working on water color for the past two weeks, I find it rather relaxing.

Cut Paper Process

Working on the cut paper assignment this weekend!

Need to add thicker shadows along the jacket first though.

And then transfer to the black paper.

Followed by the use of an x acto.

Scary stuff. 

Fish Assignment: Giant Isopod

                     Handed this in yesterday, hadn't photographed the final yet though. 

This assignment was hella fun to work through. 

Working values with ink can be a bit frightening, but it's good to work through that fear.

Make mistakes.

Make many

many

mistakes.
