Mixed Media: Watercolor, Ink, Paper Prints

Inspiration: For art class we have ideas to chose from, and one of those ideas was Life and Death. I picked up this dragon book, and while I was scrolling through it, I saw the green sunken lady and the dark dragon. From there I surrounded each with objects that represented life, and objects that harmed/killed you. I really tried to go for an Aphrodite and Hades vibe. Minus the pink.

Meaning: I want people to just admire the colors on it. Anything else is up to the viewer’s interpretation.

Medium: graphite

Inspiration: I wanted to practice drawing hair and the human face, so I found a good reference.

Takeaway: I love drawing wrinkles and otherwise “unfavorable” facial features, so I hope people take away some sense of self love.

Medium: photography

Inspiration: I was in Glacier National Park over the summer, and the view of the valley at Logan Pass was something I couldn’t ignore! It reminded me of The Sound of Music!

Takeaway: There is always beauty in the world, and you just have to find it! Nature is great example!

Medium: sketch pencil

Inspiration: I took a selfie at my family’s lake house in Vermont, having always wanted to draw it! I also had some time on my hands and I wanted to try and practice realism.

Takeaway: If you truly think you can draw something, go for it!
