Portrait10/11




It occured to me today that March 2nd is only a few days away, I have no idea what happened to February but it certainly is not here anymore. The reason I'm mentioning this is the fact that I have 2 pieces to turn into annuals, and a piece for a gallery all due on March 2nd. Then 3 days later I have to have a piece to turn in for another annual. On top of a very large amount of homework, next week is shaping up to be a busy one.

In Jazzfest related news, I received an email today saying that my painting is in the top 5 and I have to drop the painting off at the Michigan Arts Office on March 2nd (who would have guessed) but I'm very excited. They are going to judge the top 5 pieces and decide which piece will be the poster for the Jazzfest this year. Wish me luck!

Portrait8

Morgan!!! notice this is number 8. I didnt post number 7 because I drew it and redrew it 4 times then painted it twice and never wound up liking it so I got really frustrated and scribbled all over it.

Portrait3

Here is my portrait for the day. This is my roomate Bobby, he is goofy and makes funny faces. This is the first gouache painting I've done since my freshman year. I'm still not a big fan but I did begin to understand how to use it. Maybe I'll give it a few more tries before I decide if I like it or not.

Also the sketch in the corner is by Amy Hojnacki. Check out her art here. It's pretty fantastic!

I've also decided I'm going to try and do a portrait everyday for the next month. Here is number 1, my friend Nick.
