Grad Portfolio

I don't know if this is the right venue for this, but I figured why not? This is a portfolio I put together a week or two ago for school. It features all of my studio projects from grad school. It is still a work in progress because I would like to include other work in and out of school when it's all done. Hopefully in the next week or two I can get it done... Let me know what you think.

Bird

I haven't been doing too much watercoloring lately and as a result I made kind of a dumb mistake while doing this painting. I wet the entire paper surface and then masked the edges thinking I could just paint to the edge and not have any problems. Of course the color bled under the tape and gave me a little surprise when I pulled it up. However, I think it looked kind of cool so I decided to post it anyway...

sketches and colors

I've been playing with my set of Tria markers lately so I thought I would post some examples. I'm not very good with them, but I just got a new book about marker illustration that it pretty interesting and hopefully I can learn some new things!

Here are the original sketches...

House

My sister is thinking about purchasing an older house and wanted me to come up with an idea of what she could do with it. Here's what I came up with. I was going for a more craftsman look on a budget...

Varena, Italy

I just got a new set of sepia micron pens and wanted to give them a try. They came with a brush pen which is kind of fun, but needs some getting used to...

Italy Paintings

I painted these while sitting on a bench in Belagio and Varena, Italy last week. I'm still experimenting with watercolor. Sometimes they are successful, sometimes they aren't so great. I'm not super happy with these, but it was a lot of fun to paint them in such a great place!
