Professors

It's summer once again... feels nice to just relax and draw some of my favorite ole Hogwarts professors. 

Red Hair Don't Care

This is Annie. She's one of my favorite models to paint ever. It has to be that hair :)

Also, I have to say that my hair is currently the coolest color it's ever been...  good way to start the summer! 

The Flying Squirrel

This is Sophie, the flying squirrel! I am particularly proud of this illustration because I had fun throughout the whole process. I've not done a completely traditional illustration in way too long, and I felt completely unrestricted with medium. I ended up using a mixture of acrylic, gesso, pastel and colored pencil. 

It all goes well, I will be working on developing Sophie's story into a children's book this summer. 

Dead as a doornail

It's nearing the end of the semester and I regret to inform that my plants are as dead as a doornail. 

Here are some paintings I did of their little lives 

Professor Sprout the Orchid September 2012- April 2013

Radagast the Venus Fly Trap September 2012- April 2013 

Here are some other plant studies from the Sarasota Botanical Gardens. I'm not sure exactly what they are. 

Clouds in my coffee

These are two hour landscape and cloud studies that I painted recently. One was at the beach and the other was out my window on a rainy morning.  I've been really interested in painting with the palate knife, it's a fun for playing with clouds. 

Trees, trees, etc and so forth

Landscapes with figures that I've been drawing recently (the last two are studies from Corot paintings) I might do paintings based on some of these this summer.
