Finishing up 2012 (Part One)

Hey guys,

I know I haven't posted here in a while, sorry about that. I wanted to keep you guys updated with how I'm doing though. 2012 was a great year for me. Artistically I advanced so much more than in any prior year, and I want to show you some of my favorite works from the past two months. In this first post I'll be sharing some of the paintings I've done.

And also:

Sketchbook (Day 21)

This is a page I personally really enjoyed making and that I am happy with. These are some imagined trees I drew with ballpoint pen and colored pencil on an old book. On my sketchbook page here I had a bad drawing which I covered up with some extra paint that was left on my palette knife from something else. I then covered the blank parts of the page. I finished up by pasting down the tree drawings. 

Sketchbook (Day 10)

I've reached ten days with my daily sketchbook pages! I'm happy about that. 


The other day I was watching this Documentary about Vincent Van Gogh, and I decided to try and emulate some elements of his style while watching. He often uses dark blue for outlines and clumps leaves together in an interesting way. I'm happy with how the leaves turned out, but the clouds got to soft, and the color on the ground doesn't look right.
