Joan of Arc

Hello out there! It's been a long time since I have posted. I have finished my first year at Ringling, enjoyed a wonderful summer, and now I am back in Sarasota for my sophomore year :D This is a piece I did for one of my dearest friends. Inspired by Joan of Arc, it is painted with acrylics on 8.5"x11" bristol paper. More yummy art goodness to come soon :)

Digital still life

So, it is a known fact that I hate drawing on my Wacom Intuos tablet! There is such a disconnect between the pen and the screen that it's hard for me to control my drawings. Anyways, we had to do a quick still life in class and I wouldn't have enough time to do it traditionally, so I had to suck it up and pull out my tablet. I'm a bit rusty, but here is my still life. It's not as rendered as I would like it to be, but over all, I'm happy with it. I think most people in my class were impressed because I always work traditionally. They probably just assumed I wouldn't know how to use photoshop!

Sketchbook fun!

Here are a few recent pages from my sketchbook! Enjoy :D

Welcome Back!!

HELLO!!! Yay for 2016 :D It is the start of a new year and the beginning of new inspirations. I am back at Ringling College after a wonderful winter break; I was home in San Diego for about a month. It was so nice to see friends, family, and my lovable pets. I already miss home, but this semester promises new and exciting hurdles to overcome. So, to kick off the New Year and my second semester, I painter a mini Alice. I made this as a surprise for someone, I hope she likes it :) It's been awhile since I've done a mini painting, so there were a few technical challenges. The painting its self is about 2" wide and 2.5" high. She is painted with gouache and mounted on a piece of 4"x4" bristol paper.  



 

Rhythm

My first semester at Ringling is ending soon. I am secretly happy that it's almost over. Not that I am unhappy here, I just need a break. Anyway, here is an abstract painting from 2-D class emphasizing rhythm. Our assignment was to take a video, a song, or an image and interpret its movement through abstract rhythm. My painting was inspired by Loie Fuller :) 

Compliments

Good day my fellow viewers :D I have finally decided to post one of my Ringling class projects. This painting was done for my 2-D class and is based off my favorite season, Autumn. I had a really challenging time with this painting because it was meant to be abstract. In the end, I am happy. It seems like my fellow classmates liked it as well. I might change a few minor inconsistencies this weekend, but we shall see.

Sketchbook Pages

Hello everyone! I am almost half way through my first semester at Ringling and I must say it's more challenging then I had anticipated. I love being here but the work is very tedious and technical. All the projects I've done so far are visually very boring (all in one point and two point perspective) so I don't know if I'll be posting them or not...we'll see. Here are a few doodles from my sketch book. The first image was for a class project and the rest were for fun. Enjoy <3
