Self Portait


Photoshop, built up with Photographs

This was a final project where we had to create a self portait using some of our favorite images. Mine is made up of photos of my own work and involves a series of photos

Kaw Point Park Map


Photoshop with Wacom Tablet

Done to replace an older much dated map of Kaw Point Park. Made so that you can print it HERE and take it to the park to use without getting lost and identifies the key features of the park.

Color Study: Shading


Photoshop with Wacom Tablet
8x12

One of my first real expierences using colors to shade instead of using the dodge and burn tool.

Digital Paintings: Horses




Photoshop with Wacom Tablet
8x10

Done for a friend and a way to work more on my coloring and shading to give things a more realistic look instead of a plastic kind of look.

Figure Studies


Graphite and charcoal on paper

24x12

Setched from a model who was doing a quick series of poses and we had to capture the movement and fluidity of the model.

White Color Study


Oil on canvas
14x14

We were each given a still life with white objects and had to show the different shades of slight colors without using back to shade or darken and use the colors that we saw in the objects.

Sunset Drawing and Photograph



Graphite and charcoal on paper
12x18

A recreation of one of my own older pictures, capturing the sky right after a huge storm.

Abstract Prime and Abstract Color



Abstract works
Pencil, pen, and colored pencil on paper
8x10

Both of these drawings came from the same still life, but became abstract after expanding the lines in the still life and breaking it up into shapes and the still life slowly disappeared into the space.

Van Gogh Study



Oil on Canvas
24x12

A project that required us to recreate a painting done by a master. I went for the harsh brush strokes of Vincent Van Gogh, one of my favorite artists.
