Some progress in the painting, in my new "studio."
Almost done! I think it goes well with others I have done with similar themes and styles, inspired by other cultures. You can see them below....
New Painting Progress
I was inspired to paint this woman after a bus trip from Brussels to London this summer where I sat near a family who all had these beautiful features.
Obama Illustration
Here is a recent illustration I did of President Obama. Portraiture has always been one of my favorites, and here I hand drew and digitally colored this illustration, which is kind of a new technique for me. I like the effect of leaving the pencil lines, and being able to change out colors without effecting the actual drawing.
The Beginning
During art school in NYC, I became distracted with work and all the excitement that the city had to offer, and art became less and less a part of my life. Now that I am in the position to regain focus on art, I decided to start this blog to show progress in my projects and explorations. Oil paint has always been a favorite medium of mine, and I hope to develop a collection of paintings to potentially show and/or sell. As an illustration major, that has been another subject I am interested in and hope to develop as well. In addition to those, I am working on my graphic design portfolio and will be experimenting with text, layout, and design as well. Hopefully during this time I will discover what I enjoy and excel at most, and turn whatever that may be into a career!
