Sketchbook doodles!  One thing that I love so much about them is that they’re a great way to occupy a few hours and just let my mind wander.

One week left of winter break until I head back to school. I’ve been throwing all this free time i’ve had so far into drawing and painting.  Just finished an oil painting (which is the first painting i’ve done since graduating high school!), and actually immediately started another one the day after.  Feels like its going to be difficult to switch my brain back in to a numbers/math mindset for when my classes start up again since its been so much on the artsy side recently!

ANTHEM

First time painting again since finishing Art IB in highschool.  Its been a while!  The interesting thing though, is that even though I haven’t done any paintings since high school, I can still see some growth comparing this piece to my old work.

Started this painting this a couple weeks ago, and made decent progress in just a couple days at was pretty much at a completion point.  But then I hit a roadblock, and wasn’t pleased with anything I did with the background, so I left it for about two weeks.  Ideas just came to mind today again, so I spent a couple hours this afternoon finishing it up.  I am actually very pleased with the outcome!
