Here are the paintings from my experiment in oil painting. I took a watercolor elective last quarter but it was very relaxed and didn't really dive into the heavier aspects of painting, so I am considering this course my first heavy duty painting course. These are posted roughly in the order in which they were painted and there is a lot of change as I became more experienced. All the figures were done at varying time lengths during class and the last two are semi-finished long term paintings. I still want to work on them some more when I get back home and have some time to myself. I feel like in my 3rd year of college, I'm really only just beginning to learn about art. All of next year I plan to explore as many mediums as I can possibly squeeze into my schedule, though working on my thesis will certainly prove to be an obstacle. I'm very excited about this! :)
I painted this for my little cousin for his Christmas present this year. He's nuts about underwater stuff and fish and marine life, so that's what inspired the theme.
Here are some Christmas card/door decorations that I made for my residents before they left for the holidays. I hope the like them.
