Own Beauty

“Sometimes people are beautiful.

Not in looks.

Not in what they say.

Just in what they are.”

― Markus Zusak, I am the Messenger

Its been a while since I've done watercolor painting, my last one was last december when I've done my final project for my art foundation class.

This painting will be a gift for one of my co-workers who is graduating this coming May.

Watercolor, pencil, pen, pastel on 11x14in canvas.

Day 14: Watercolor

WIP Hermione Granger

Work in progress! Wanted to work a little bit more with watercolor as much as possible. Also, since I haven't truly worked in any of my favorite characters in the Harry Potter world, I decided to give it a try. As you can see, I already started with Hermione, up next could be either Harry or Ron, or maybe Ginny or Luna. It'll all depends.

Well today was the day to turn in our final project. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't complete my goal of 12 of my own drawings. However, my professor and I discussed on permitting my sister draw herself and I in her own way to express her skills to the class! Will show more photos very soon!

However, once I get my portfolio back with my drawings, I will continue working the last 4 drawings and try to enter it in the student exhibition at school, or any future exhibitions during the Spring semester. I do hope so.

ARFT Final Project: WIP

1/12 done! Took me about 2 1/2 hours! In this project, I decided to use one of my favorite artist's techniques of using watercolor, Agnes Cecile, go check out her work!
I decided not to use 5 18x24" paper because I find it too big for doing this kind of idea. So instead, I'm using 11x14 Bristol paper. Even though watercolor paper could work better, I already bond with the Bristol paper as my favorite paper to use.
My idea will involve my little sister, and myself.
