IT"S FRIIIIIDAY

These are all concentration pieces, done with markers, charcoal, highlighters, sharpies, acrylic paint, watercolors, colored pencils, and graphite.









This one is me with a mangnifying glass.










This is Justin, finally done.

And this is Kayla, still not done with it.

These are just pictures I reshot for better quality.

My concentration pieces. Graphite on paper. Both of these pieces are about 6" x 8" so they are pretty small. I hope to get more reference photos for my future concentration pieces.

Kayla's 3 Slides 1/15

This is the second concentration piece i did of a zebra. I started it in ink
pen and then mixed cool watercolors to create the color inside the ink. I enjoy the start of my concentration and am excited to see how it turns out.

This was the first concentration piece I did of a lion I dont know if Im
going to use it as one of my concentration pieces because it is just right
in the middle of the page. I did this with ink and warm watercolor paint.

This is the concetration piece i just finished. Its a tiger made of purple ink
and than a mix of different watercolors. The lines around the face are
made with watercolor pencil.

hand

work in progress it will probably go in to my concentration. i still need to refine the shape and clean it up and probably add fake finger nails.

The Good Stuff

This is my 'Order' piece. I used acrylic paint on canvas board. I really like blue and purple, so I used them to make the small spheres, then used their complimentary colors to make the rays. This was my first attempt, I re-did this recently with more contrast. Breadth.

This is a simplified painting of a group of buildings in Boston. I picked out the basic shapes and painted them. I painted the basic values and then dry brushed the most accurate values over the top. I did the same thing for the background. Concentration.

This is a watercolor painting of a group of buildings in Seattle. I really like my background, I used really thick black watercolor paint. I used acrylic paint on the windows and added colored pencil on the dark windows. Concentration.

New Slides

I painted this waterfall on a mushroom I found while looking for firewood. Acrylic paints.

Next concentration piece, work in progress. Graphite and brown pencils in Prismacolor box.

Found object piece, wire clippers. Charcoal, starting to like it, more pieces to come?

Concentration

These are the first two paintings (acrylic) for my concentration which is going to be me and my 5 best friends and capturing the personalities and connections between all of us =)

Softly Sighs His Taste Unwinds

This is a watercolor piece I did trying to express the calming, comforting, yet exhilarating feeling of kissing the person you love.

PROOF WE WORKED!

Danielle's Slides

This is a page out of my sketchbook. I'm going to make it better and I think I'm going to use charcoal and maybe chalk pastel.

This is wasn't finished when i took the picture, but i finished it right after. I did most of it in charcoal but in the end i used chalk pastel to put a little dark blue in his hair and made his eyes brown. and i did the background in bright orange using oil pastel.

This is a drawing I did of my glasses using charcoal.

Blah, Today was a good day! Happy Friday! :]

Finished, I like it alot, like the colors, designs and such.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Just some random drawings I did sophomore and junior year.

Kayla Peal/3 Slides

I just finished this one this week, I like working with pens. but I saw
that sharpies made alot of noticiable lines so im going to try using different pens
on my next piece.


I had two other pieces at home that I wanted to photograph
but I dont own a camera so I had to post something from my sketchbook.
Its sketches of found art when we had to do the homework assignment about it.

This is the lamp thats keeps haunting me, I don't think it
shows my art ability at all. I just finished a charcoal drawing and I was
tired of working with it. So this lamp is not and never will be finished :)

Miriam's slides :-)

This is Justin, and I did this piece with charcoal, graphite, acrylic paint, watercolors, markers, highlighters, and some colored pencils. (it's not done yet)

This is just a painting I decided to do, it's done with acrylic paint.

This is Lilia holding a magnifying glass to her teeth :) It's done in charcoal, sharpie, watercolors, colored pencils, a bit of pastels, and some graphite.

Zach Bagley and his 3 slides

This is the final sketch I did for a painting in Donahue's class. I am using acrylic over masonite. Even though the masonite board isn't square, the lines have put down look good and how I wanted them.

This is a picture I did when I was bored at the end of the year. Even though intentional very unbalanced.I really like the cape though, as well as how I did the face. I could see my self doing something similar but I would want to play with the composition before doing the final.

This is my found object picture. After thinking about it I decided I probably won't work on it any more.

Concentration Idea

This is an idea I have for my concentration piece.

I drew this in my sketchbook a very very very long time ago. Posting for points!!!

This is a drawing I did for fun. Haha, it is a very bad slide!

A painting I did last year for Mr. Donahue's Paint Studio class. I used acrylic paint. I really like the patterns, but I could have done a lot better on the eyes.

tuokoooooool!!!!

acrylic on masonite. this is the start of my concentration. they are going to have much more texture though. im really excited to get started.

3 slides, Min

This is a piece that i did in my drawing1. I can't remeber what it was supposed to be. I used oil pastel

This is my synethic piece. I tried to express sounds of city by painting. I used acrylic paint.

This is my found object. I'm still working on background. Maybe i would add more stuff for the background later. I like the watches that i drew. I used charcoal.
