I have been so busy reading that I have forgotten to post. The Life of Pi by Yann Martel is wonderful... but yes, this is a blog about art, not books. So I have been taking an oil painting class, and while I am also working on a still life, I have no pictures of it. We must content ourselves with the portrait.
 |
| This is a portrait by Ingres I am copying for the class. This is the original, I didn't paint it unfortunately. |
 |
| Here is my preliminary sketch. |
 |
| My beautiful, glorious paint that cost me about 100 dollars... |
 |
| And voila! The beginning of my 'forgery' (that's its nickname. I have no prospects whatsoever of selling it mind you... this is just practice) |
 |
| Here is my mom's Christmas present. I am trusting in the fact that she never looks at my blog. |
 |
| My mom already knows she's getting a leaping giraffe though. She wasn't thrilled with the idea, but I think she will like it when she sees it. |
 |
| Here is a 2 minute sketch I did of myself for practice. |
 |
| I did this acrylic paining this week. |
 |
| Here is my meager studio... |
 |
| These are our family Jack-O-Lanterns! Guess which one's mine... I'll tell you at the end of the post. |
 |
| Flowers in the snow we got in October. Sandy sure messed the weather up, but it was a picturesque scene... |
 |
| A rose with no petals |
 |
| My favorite one... the picture quality is great. |
OK... The one on the far left is mine. It's the one that's a rib cage if you didn't know what it was. The one in the middle is my brothers, and the one on the end is my sister's.
