This oil painting is of my families puppy, and its almost done I'm just not satisfied with the eyes yet. I will post the finished piece once it's done!

Figure Drawing

Just looking through all of my figure drawings it amazes me that the model would/could hold a position long enough for us to draw it! I mean they do get paid really well but it must get uncomfortable sitting there for 30 minutes at a time. Well I 'm glad they did cause my drawing of the human figure has really grown a lot from that art class.

In this piece I just couldn't get the feet right. Even now as I look at it they still look off! I have some troubles with drawing feet and hands, but I am getting better at it!

I haven't given names to any of my figure drawings. There's not really much you can name so I just don't. This class really helped me to be able to draw the human figure more precisely! But I hope you enjoy them.

Puppers!

"Addie Bell"

This piece is an oil painting I did for my final in my oil painting class (a little redundant I'm sorry). I love painting pictures of my families pets (my mom has put in a request that I paint a picture for all four- one down 3 to go). Addie's doing what she does best, begging for food. Who could resist those large brown eyes cause I know I can't!

Bread and Grapes

This is a painting of a still life for my oil painting class midterm. In the original there is a lot more (there's a wine glass, an onion and a couple flowers) but I really didn't like those parts so I cropped it down. I love working in oils!

Blanket

"Stolen"

This piece gets its name from the blanket i drew, the blanket was one of my ex-boyfriends and i had borrowed and kind of sort of kept it... Woops. Anyways this is done in charcoal, and it was for an assignment in my drawing one class.

A sled, a scarf, and a pumpkin still life

"Sled Still Life"

This piece was part of my final for my drawing one class! Man I miss those days of actually have art classes- and going to Snow! Anyways this piece is a still life that my professor set up, and i used charcoal (which is not really a medium i use to often- too hard to erase).
ENJOY!

Parade and Creation


This first piece is called "Animals on Parade". I made it in my drawing two class at Snow College, it's a process called zerox transfer and its really a lot of fun.

This one as well is a zerox transfer and it's called "Creation"
To do a zerox transfer you find a picture, copy it, lay it down on your paper, put this chemical stuff on it (I don't remember what kind), then run it through a printing press. It really is a lot of fun to make, and after it's printed you can paint it (I used water colors).
