About Me

In this blog there will be pictures from my artwork that I have completed through my senior year of AP art. I enjoy drawing pictures of landscapes and nature. My concentration theme is the Appalachian Trail which I have actually hiked much of.

Water bound

5' x 7'
In this piece of art I scratched out a picture geese. I was able to create a central point of interest placing the geese in the center of the picture making the viewers eye look directly towards it. Against some parts of the geese I made the grass lighter to emphasis a darker color on the geese themselves. I also highlighted different parts in the grass to create movement and color value within the picture.

Finally Home

17' x 9'
In this piece of art my medium was watercolor. This is the last piece of my concentration which is the Missippii River, showing they made their way home. I tried showing with the varity of oranges, reds, and yellow that the sun was setting. Also reflecting these colors on the river. A fun thing about the paper I used was it can be "earased" or watered back more easily than most watercolor paper.
