A Master Study!

This is my interpretation of a work by a master painter using oil pastels on felt paper. My mother who is my best fan and critic said it looks like a clown!




My art teacher Lui said it looks really cool!

My Master Study

My interpretation of a master's work using watercolor pencils and combining both the dry and wet techniques.

Doing A Matisse Work

I chose this 1937 painting by great artist Henri Matisse called The Purple Robe for this week's session. I first used watercolor pencils to draw my own interpretations of the painting. Lui said I can make my own version of it so I changed the design of the dress and the colors. I used both oil pastels and colored pencils on paper. And this is my work:

Mixed Media Works!

I enjoyed this session because Lui made me work on different materials like colored pens, craypas, crayons and colored pencils. Lui said she wanted to see which of the materials are convenient for me to use to get the results that I want!




Peacock




Teddy Bear




King Bird



. . . and a fun exercise on using colors and a technique called rubbing to get special background effects like the one on the Teddy Bear. I rubbed craypas over a paper with our textured table cover underneath it. Below, I rubbed craypas with leaves underneath the paper.
