Some Paintings...

**Making use of a free-warped canvas

SKaTeR drawing (subculture of choice)



I chose to do a Skateboarding drawing as my subculture of choice. I had a lot of fun with ink, pastel, and some acrylic when doing my paper treatment. I then sketched out a skateboarder, cut it out, and used the sillhoute as my stencil. Using colored pencils I threw down some skateboarders! I am some-what satisfied with the final product but do enjoy my paper treatment by itself a bit more.

Gothic assignment







For this Gothic/Kitsch assignment, Laura gave us 7 random objects in a cup to incorporate into our drawing. I was given a candle (wax drippings), thumb tack (scratched into paper), marble (drawn as earring), vertebrae (drawn), Nylon (adhered to surface), elastic lace-thing (subtly incorporated into paper treatment), and a playing card with a dog and the word "fidelity" on it (wrote out "fidelity" for ambiguity). This was a fantastic assignment and definitely forced me to get creative.
