Watercolors, continued!



Back home for the summer, and thought I'd start scanning stuff in. Above are more adventures with waterbrush - part of Washington Square Park as seen from the eighth floor of a building, and my workplace. (It isn't actually that colorful, sadly.)



I found an old magazine at work. These three are based on advertisements I found in that magazine. I'm much more familiar with acrylic paint, so it was frustrating trying to get the colors to match what I saw. Eventually, I gave up on that (orange skin, anyone?).

Sometimes, I just let my mind wander and doodle. It tends to look like this. (The lab was quiet that day.)



Next up: what I started drawing after 1) acquiring a real, portable watercolor kit! (as opposed to the watercolor pencils I'd been using) and 2) leaving NY.

Almost there...!



The last life drawing class of the semester. My computer has been down all week, so ... school computers, away! (And large school scanners!) From first to last: five minutes each, twenty minutes, twenty minutes, and fifteen minutes.

I'm happy with these. It's nice being able to look back and see that I've improved. I am looking forward to not having to lug that huge sketchbook around, though.

Back to work...!
