This was my erasure project based on a still life. It was done in charcoal. The process was to draw an object moving and erase the object as it progressed. I thought I did well on this project. I think the apple looks the most realistic. It was a challenge to draw the pearls especially three times.

This is another altered book page. The prompt was "letters". I created an acrylic background and then experimented with typography for each letter in the alphabet.

These are a few of my altered book pages. The prompts included time, reflections, glory, and blinded.

This is my weaving painting piece in which I created two water colors and wove them together. I did a water color of grapes in red and in purple. Then I cut the paintings (one in lines and one in circles). Next I wove the circles into the opposite painting. I like this piece a lot more than Ithought I would. I need to add more contrast so that the grapes will stand out more.

This is my portrait piece done with an image transfer. I first took newspaper and using a rubber cement technique and watercolor I tinted it blue. Then I added my image transfer. I then added watercolor drips and sponged watercolor paint on top. Next I dripped encaustic wax and oil patels from the top of the painting. Lastly I added bubble wrap that I painted. I like this piece but
I need to add something to make the image transfer pop.

This piece was made by first using tissue paper, found papers, gesso, and watercolor to create a surface to draw on. I then took a photograph of a shelf in my garage and used this to draw the still life in India ink. I really like the colors of the found papers and the background in general. I know the cans are missing something (white according to Mr. Brandt) but I'm not sure what. any suggestions??

This is my drawing done in India ink with sticks. Yes, I said sticks. I actually had fun with this project and liked the mistakes the stick left on the page. I'm not the best at figure drawing but I think with the exception of the "black halo" around the figure this turned out alright. I felt the drawing gave the emotion anger so I added orange and red to further this emotion.
