Elegance

This piece is done in encuastic and it is titled "elegance". I used a collectable shoe that i took a picture of as the focal point. However, i like my pieces with dried flowers better. I wasn't sure how to finish this piece so i added string and the word elegance. I will probably come back to this piece at some point.

Orchid

This is another encaustic project titled "orchid". I chose an achromatic color scheme to try something new. I think this color scheme makes the piece look kind of dark, but it's different. I like the levels i used and i think i might use that idea again.

RWB

Again these are research workbook pages. I like these pages because of the monochromatic and achromatic color schemes. I also like the ribbon and buttons i used

RWB

These are also pages in my research workbook. I used water color and simple designs. I also added a few words to make them look more complete.

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.
