Color Rendering, Acrylic

This is the 80 hour color rendering I did for my intermediate illustration class. The original painting is 8x8 inches. I used the low key, limited palette adjusted with a touch of yellow-orange for the final piece. Below are color comps, experimenting with analogous, atmospheric perspective, limited neutralized, and split complimentary color pallets.

First Plen Air, Acrylic

Plen air painting with Cameron Chun, the instructor for my intermediate illustration class, and the rest of my peers at Monte Bello near the Santa Cruz Mountains. It was my first time ever painting outside and painting a landscape. I think I have discovered my new passion!

Portraits

Portraits I did for Sheldon Borenstein's advanced life drawing class.

Figure Drawings

A few figure drawings from the past Spring semester. The bottom two I used for the SJSU A/I portfolio. Yey! I got in the program! The top two figure drawings were done after I finished my portfolio. After that, my figure drawings improved a good amount. Maybe I was celebrating through my drawings. Hmmm...

Black and White Rendering, Acrylic

I spent about 90 hours on this rendering for my 113A class: intermediate illustration. This was my first time doing representational painting, and I had a good time learning. I find matching values to be a lot of fun, and I can't wait to apply it to future work. :)

Winter Marathon

These are from the Shrunken Head Man life drawing marathon during winter break. The last weekend we did figure painting, which was a new experience for me. The painting on here was a 3 hour pose I painted with my palette knife.

The Char-Kole Reversal

This reversal took me about 80 hours total. I wiped it out and started over 50 hours in and completed it in 30 hours. I really enjoyed this project because it taught me how to see shapes accurately using the method of squinting.
