Synthetic Cubism


Thsi was my Synthetic Cubism project. I used five found papers as well as watercolor. To make the flower i just crumpled paper. Thanks to everyone for background ideas!

Analytical Cubism



This was my Analytical Cubism project. I wouldn't say it's exactly cubism but i didn't want to draw a plain still life so i used a broken mirror effect. The flower could use a little bit of work but overall i like the outcome.

Natural Encaustic




This was my encaustic project. I used wax and melted pastels on top of a collage. Then i added string and "natural" objects on top. I really like how my colors turned out. This was one of my favorite projects so far.

RWB




Theses are my experimental encaustic wax pieces. I made collages like below and incorporated string and other objects. Then i covered them with paraffin wax. I also used melted oil pastels for the color. And of course they're tiny...sorry.

These are collages that i was going to use for encaustic waxing. I didn't get to finishthem but they make decent collages. Sorry it's so small...

This is a page i did in my research workbook. I used oil pastels and a found image as well as hemp string. Not sure why the picture is so small...

Paper cutting



This was my chinese paper cutting piece. I'm not really happy with the final result but i did like learning a new technique. My patterns are much more clear on my preliminary than in the final. For the background i used a spray paint marbling technique.
