Oils

 This is my first oil painting that I did to learn how to best work with the paints. It was done on paper and turned out fairly well for my first try I think. The assignment was to work in grey-scale so that we could learn how to best shade oil paints.

 

"Sleeping Kittens"

  

My first oil painting on canvas. I found that I really enjoyed working with oils because they stay wet for so long and allow plenty of forgiveness when blending. 

"Teddy Bear"

Multimedia Paintings

A Gouche and embossing assignment where we had to pick our favourite animal, food and place we wanted to visit and create an artistic sort of ad. Although it is hard to see in this photo, the white space is embossed with bamboo.
