Happy Easter. We fill doubly blessed this Easter Season because General Conference is falling on Easter weekend. It is such a great opportunity for us to focus on the true meaning of the Holiday, the Resurrection of our savior Jesus Christ. I can think of no better way to draw near unto Him than by listening to His prophet and Apostles. Easter is such a great reminder the plan of salvation that our Heavenly Father has for us. It gives me strength to continue on and to work harder on enduring well the trials that we are given. Our Heavenly Father does love us.
It might seem a bit contradictory that I would go on about the true reason for the Easter holiday and then post a picture of a chick. Well this is the Easter card that I made for Clark. I am not a religious painter, and choose not to be, but to me chicks and springtime are great reminders of new life. Isn't that what the Resurrection is all about? New life, eternal life, and returning Heavenly Father.
Here are a few more pieces from my media class. The love birds were an acrylic sand off technique and the moose and the owl were done with gouache and ink.
These pieces were also done in acrylic. The full view of the pig was done in an acrylic/gloss medium sand off technique and the pig head was done with a packaging tape technique.
These are a couple of the acrylic pieces that I did for my media experimentation class this semester.
This is my illustration friday assignment for last week. I like the character quite a bit and would like to develop it further. I wish that I would have had time to add more to the composition, but I am pretty pleased with it so far.
Here is my illustration friday assignment for "crash". I decided to draw crashing waves. Our assignment was to use photoshop and include textures. The texture that I used was created with matte medium and a stiff bristle brush.
This is another experiment with photoshop. I wish that I had more time and energy to put into it, but it was fun. I am hoping that all of the time that I spend in the computer lab one day helps me.
This is my illustration friday assignment for the topic "sprout". It was an adventure figuring how to work with line, brushes, and texture. I wish that I would have been able to put more time into it, but here it is.
This is a really quick study that I did to experiment with digital painting and drawn line. I really like the line drawing. I need to figure out how to work with the brushes, but I am having fun.
This is an illustration friday assignment "Red". I chose to play with a couple of different ideas. I incorportated the color red in my piece, and I also used "Una Red" in my composition. Red means net in spanish. Anyway...it was a fun assignment and i enjoyed using the cut paper technique.
