Batik

For me, the Batiks were definitely a challenge. We covered parts with wax and used paint to make a picture. I chose a sea turtle because i love the colors involved.

Filtered Mandala

Mandala, filtered through photoshop. 

Mandala, Favorite art project!

To make this mandala, i used the form of radial symmetry. I chose to have my flamingos as my subject because i really think they are beautiful with the pink feathers. I tried to stick with warm colors to symbolize the sun, but then threw some cools in to symbolize the sky. I really enjoyed this project, i put a lot of effort into it because I was so motivated.

Cotton Grass Filtered

Same watercolor of Cotton silk grass, filtered trough photoshop. 

Abstract Watercolor

In this picture I see a force of wind causing everything to go into a vortex. I consider this abstract art. It has a feeling of destruction through natural forces.

Mountain Watercolor

This is a watercolor scenery painting. The feeling is peaceful.

Fish Watercolor

In this picture I see an underwater scene, a school of fish. I used watercolor to create a cool background, i put a variety of colors down than covered it in saran wrap. I then went back and used Chinese brush painting for the fish. The feeling is relaxing.
