RWB

These are three collages I did in my research workbook. Again they are monochromatic. I used magazine clippings and newspaper with a few other materials.

oil pastel project

This was my oil pastel projet done on black paper. I took an art nouveau approach to this piece and again used swirls. I used soft colors and supporting lines as well. It was difficult to shade with pastels without leaving black spots.

Time Warp

This is my foreshortening piece, not my favorite... I used newspaper and oil pastel. Oil pastel wasn't the best choice because the colors are a lot brighter than those on the newspaper. Also it was hard to get detailed with pastels.

Value Study

This was my figure value study piece. As you can see figure drawing isn't really my thing. I decided to practice forshortening for the next project with this one. Not my favorite, but it's alright.

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.
