Paint Experiments

All of these are experimentations in my visual journal of different painting techniques. The first page is of my first time using a palette knife, which I was practicing layering paints. The second painting is watercolor paint, where I practiced the drip technique, and trying out all the different colors. As for the final page, I was working with controlling the watercolor paint, and even incorporated some watercolor pencil into a few of the pieces.

Serendipity

This is a drawing I did of Jimin from BTS. I was inspired by one of his music videos that had just came out at the time, so I drew him, and included some of the lyrics to his song Serendipity. One thing I wish I could change was the fact that I only used a #2 pencil, so I couldn`t get the depth that I wanted.

Joe Jonas` True Colors

This is a painting I did of Joe Jonas` campaign with Guess. The goal of this project was to create a portrait using different color schemes. This is one of my first paintings, so I struggled quite a bit. I`m hoping over the course of this year I will become a better painter.

Color PoP Double Page Spread

This is a double page spread I did in my visual journal. I wanted to incorporate my art style in this color theory project so I would have fun with it. I really liked how it turned out.

Hummingbird

This is my drawing of a hummingbird. This is one of my first pieces I have actually tried to color, and it was one of my biggest struggles due to the fact that I`m colorblind.

May you be forever happy

This is my metal tooling piece of a Chinese ornament hanging from a cherry blossom tree. I wanted to incorporate Chinese aspects with a popular design that I used in the top right, and bottom left hand corners, along with the Chinese characters for happiness in the center.
