Second Layer of Pastel Drawing


Above is a picture of the second layer of my complementary color pastel drawing. I added the red and green hues to further define the shadows in this composition. At this point, I am about halfway finished, as my last step is to add the blue and orange hues and finalize all the colors. More to come soon!

Complementary Color Pastel Drawing- First Layer


In need of a quick break from oil, I decided to do another pastel drawing using the complementary color technique I used at the beginning of this year. Posted above is a picture of the preliminary layer using the complementary colors purple and yellow. After spraying a fixative, I will continue with red and green.

Monochromatic Oil Painting

Above is a picture of my latest painting: rope tied to a dock. I didn't intend for this painting to be monochromatic; it just turned out that way :) Hope you enjoy!

Landscape Oil Painting- Work In Progress


Posted above is my latest painting that I have been working on. Similar to the other landscape painting with the hay bale, I have only been using a palette knife with this work. For some reason, I feel like I have more control over the oil paint and the colors when I use the palette knife rather than a brush. This painting is still a work in progress. but I hope to finish it very soon so I can submit it in my Senior Portfolio for the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. Hope you like it!
