Watercolor Painting - Contour Lines

       This is the contour-line drawing for the start of my watercolor painting! This will be the very basic guideline for me. I decided to do it with grid-drawing, because grid drawing is awesome! 

This is my reference photo with the grid-lines on it.

This is the contour-line drawing with the grid-lines still on it. Sorry it's so light! I tried to be gentle :)

This is the contour-line drawing with the grid-lines erased. You can hardly see it, but that is the point!

I can't wait to get started with the painting!

This is the reference photo that I will be using for my landscape watercolor painting later this week!

Week 6 Quarter 2: Weekly Drawing - Bug (With Watercolors)

Title: Autumn Flutterings

Size: 8.5 x 11"

Media: Pencil to sketch and watercolor paints

The pencil sketch is much more detailed than the watercolor version, but the paint definitely adds more interest to it! I didn't have enough watercolor paper to use so I just made it on computer paper and that's probably why it looks a little funky. The watercolor is done dry! I didn't put any water on the paper with the paint! 

I apologize for the bad lighting in all the pictures! That's why there's so many.

Lovely autumn song:

This is the pencil sketch before I added any paint to it!

Week 5 Quarter 2: Color Wheel

Had a ton of fun with this one! Pacman FTW! :)
I see a few things that I would have liked to do differently, like turning the red Pacman so it's eating the red and orange circles, and making the orange-yellow a little more orange, but overall I think it turned out pretty good! I like it! Enough to hang it up on my wall :)

Quarter 2 Week 4: Abstract Art - Computer

Title: Heartstrings

This artwork portrays to me the organized chaos that is life and love. 

There is a structure to it all, but unexpected deformities add obstacles that, in the end, make it worth experiencing.
