This one turned out pretty well! :)

All I have to say is that Guash (spelling?) technique difficult...and seemingly counterproductive. Eek! I will conquer this! :)... hopefully ;)

Second try! Better....

First guache technique tryout....its ok :/
Initial comp. for 3 image montouge (spelling?).

Initial Comp. for 20 X 30 Watercolor.

Final Comps! I'm happy with these :)

intial sketches.watercolors from last week.

This watercolor of the lips is using a technique utilizing seran wrap. I really like it!
These next few were 10 of the same photo of my friends dog. I think that most of them were successful. I didn't post the ones I didn't like.






These four were of random photos. They were done quickly, but I like the color usage and simple feel to them.



This was an in class project. We were doing a watercolor study of wildlife. I also made this particular watercolor for friend who wanted a job done of sheep. He liked it very much, but it is suppose to be a book cover. So I will probably be making more of sheep for the particular use of this friend of mine.

I really enjoyed doing these 10 watercolors. Surprisingly I used to dislike watercolors very much, because as my professor says, the tendancy for everyone is to be a control feak at first. But once you find your niche, these can be a lot of fun! The first one here is obviously a self-portrait, and the rest are just from random photos online, once I did the watercolor, a lot of times I would change the cropping just slightly in photoshop. I'm so thankful for these programs!
