experimenting in class

An assignment I worked on in Class. The assignment was to play around with digital watercolor and textures. I used one of my previous sketches...had a lot of fun with this.

Some perspective

Here is a sample of my first assignment for Advanced Perspective. I think I want to keep working on these and eventually color them in the future.

Color studeez

Helloo I made these a few weeks ago to practice colors. These were done from photo reference. Although, I would love to paint on the computer atop a snowy mountain some day!

School in Session

Well school is back in session for me. Pretty excited about it and really starting to like Corel Painter 11. Here is a Sargent master copy. Im still trying to learn most of the capabilities here and the new brushes.

Have a great weekend

Study, Study, Study.

I have been studying and getting myself ready for the upcoming fall semester at Academy of art. These are some recent sketches I have done in my Moleskine.

In memory of Joey Velasco

I can honestly say that Joey Velasco is one of the most inspirational artists I have ever come across. His insane dedication to his art, his family, his community, and to God are qualities everyone can admire. I respect this man very much and I hope you can take a chance to read up on his story and take a look at his art here:

"It is with deep sadness that we share the news of our dear friend, Joey Velasco’s recent passing. He suffered from a heart attack and seizures a few days ago. Kindly offer prayers for the eternal rest of his soul. May perpetual light shine upon him..."

"Everyone knows he's going to die, but nobody seems to be completely and absolutely prepared for it. Nobody lives each day ready to die; life should be lived to the full each day."

Creating art till the end
