More Pieces

Oil

Graphite

I drew this picture in the spring of 2010 while I was competing in track as a polevaulter. I wish this were a picture of me; however, I never attained the skill of getting completely upside down like this girl in the picture. I like to draw what is on my mind and during track season I thought little of anything besides polevaulting.


Oil Pastel

Last summer my older sister came home and was infatuated with oil pastels. And so her and I sat down to have fun and experiment with oil pastels on HEB brown paper bags. She was drawing Dustin while I tried to draw my brother. My drawing ended up looking like an ugly unproportional hobbit. So i became frustrated and decided to draw one of my favorite things to draw, which is eyes. I drew this from a photograph one of my friends took of my eye which she edited to all black and white except for the iris. I had a lot of fun drawing this one and it is so far my favorite pastel drawing I have done. However, this drawing is much smaller with a size of 5" by 5" 

Oil on Canvas

Painting is not my favorite medium. While it can be more relaxing and fun; I feel like I lose a lot of control that I would normally have when using graphite or prisma color. This piece was a challenge for me because I was out extremely out of my comfort zone. This is also one of my larger pieces with a size of 20" by 16"

Oh, I had a lot of fun with this one. This was on a much smaller canvas: 8" by 8" This was my second palette knife painting. I really had so much fun with the colors and with using the knife. This was one of my more relaxed and enjoyable projects.
