Concentration and sketchbook

This was done from a picture of my cousins puppy Gunner. I painted over an older sketchbook that I didn't like that much, its done with acrylic and then sharpie, with a little oil pastel. 





For this page I already had the background done and the animals were there. This one was also from a picture of my friend. I drew on tissue paper then added color pencil and then glued it to the page with gel medium, which i liked because its made the tissue appear clear. 




I really like this page. It is watercolor and sharpie. The sort of random cloud like this things was where i stated. I did this page while playing around with concentration ideas. This was supposed to be an algea plant kinda kelpy like. The plan was to have my concentration be organic and loose watercolor and ink paintings inspired by the shapes and colors found in nature. 


This was a painting I started in class and worked on for awhile, but never finished because i got stuck and don't know where to go with it. I really like it though, kinda reminds me of fire or something. So I am hoping to be inspired and finish it for one of my December pieces.




This painting was another one i started for the november pieces, but i don't like it or atleast something is off about it, so i will probably just paint of it, since it is on a long rectangular canvas that i made and really like the shape.
