Watercolor Landscape

For my landscape I did the Northern Lights. I used watercolor and I like how the sky turned out but not so much how everything else turned out.

Watercolor Tutorial #1

This is my first tutorial piece I am working on and it is the face of a lion and a face of Bob Marley in one. I am most excited about this one because I have wanted to do something with this for so long.

Artist Place Setting

(brad is awesome) I have been working on my 4 piece place setting and my artist it was based off of was Jackson Pollock. The process I went through to complete my work was throwing on the wheel and splatter painting glaze onto my pieces. The main idea of my pieces was to mimic the artwork of Jackson Pollock. I feel the project is turning out better than I expected because the pieces look very cool when glaze fired.

Watercolor detail

I just finished my watercolor detail by filling in the white spots with black and adding black wrinkles into his snout

1 cup and 1 bowl

I mixed glazes for the first time and loved how they turned out. And then my bowl I used one glaze and a stroke and coat and I loved it.

Watercolor Detail

This is my detailed watercolor in progress. I used washes to make the face of the lion, and thin brushstrokes of yellow and brown to make the mane.

Painting (Tempera)

Dream Catcher
I think I did challenge myself with this piece because it was difficult to paint the feathers and strings and not getting the black into the feathers.
My piece did not turn oit exactly how I envisioned but I am proud of the work I did.
I think I could make it better if I would've went over a few of the feathers another time or two.

Ceramics 2 Progress

2 Cups and 2 Bowls ( in progress)
And Kennedy!
I feel that I am being challenged on these projects because it is something I am not used to doing so it is a little difficult for me.
My work never turns out how I envision it, I think I have very high expectations.
I think I will be able to make it better if I slow down when I throw. I think it will help me imensly.
