Snow Day!

Image
        This canvas is based off a scene outside my school's window that I found very entrancing. The sky was a light grey, and the bare trees looked black. The snow was falling quite heavily. I tried to create that snow with a technique called flicking, which I used for my miniature watercolor. The grey I used was mixed, but the black and white was not. I painted some snow onto the tops of branches to show the accumulation.

Minuscule Art

Image
     For a trial basis, I had brought two mini canvases, ad later a mini easel. I even cut out a piece of watercolor to make a miniature watercolor drawing. The square paintings are canvases that use acrylic paint. The rectangle painting is the watercolor one.         My first mini canvas was a constellation, specifically the Big Dipper. I used pictures as a reference, and a toothpick and ends of  my brushes fro the stars. The background is a metallic blue.         My second canvas was a abstract mosaic/multilayered stone footpath. I kept the background white, and mixed up new colors. The colors used are: cerulean blue, metallic orange, metallic green, metallic red, and metallic magenta.

The symbol itself has a light yellow glow to it. I made the picture with an ultra-thin Sharpie for the outlining, and color pencils for the color.

First Microsoft Paint Drawing!

Image
      Today, I decided to try to draw a girl using Microsoft paint, and I have to admit, it cam out okay. This is my first ever serious drawing. I used a base of the internet for the head shape and neck. Everything else is original. I decided to go simple and did blond hair, blue eyes, light skin. Experimenting with colors is much easier and fun with Paint. Comment how I can do better next time, because, trust me, there will be a next time.
