This piece was done with acrylic and textured paint. The "bow tie" is canvas in watered down glue which make sit hard when it dries. I didn't really like how this piece turned out.

This is the first piece I have done for my concentration. I think it was a big success. It was a long process using wire and textured paint. This is my best piece I have done this year!

This piece is done in watercolor and has a little bit of charcoal on it. I did this as a still life. I used browns because they are neutral and blend well with other shades of brown. Overall I think the piece was a success.

This is the piece I did for the foreshortening project. It is done in acrylic paint. I originally wanted to do a more complicated background but I ran out of time and did a larger, more simple one. I really liked how this turned out.

This piece was done in charcoal. I haven't really worked in charcoal befor so I think the piece turned out fairly well. I added the blue high lights to make the piece more intresting.I like how this one turned out.

Papercuts

This is the piece that I did for the paper cutout project. I really do not like how this turned out. This project did not interest me. I think the piece looks too busy.

Encaustic

This is my encaustic piece. The encaustic process was new for me, but overall I enjoyed experimenting with it. When I first started with the project I thought I was going to have a problem with the mirriors looking like they belonged. I resolved the problem by melting the wax arounf the border of the mirrors. I think it worked. I tried to make this piece as shiny as possible so I used the mirrors and aluminum foil. I also put shiny beads into the wax. I really liked how this piece turned out, but it I were to do this project again I would have redone the image transferrs.
