my ukulele done in watercolor, about 30 minutes. cast shadows rock :)

in front of spartan complex east, about an hour. still learning how to capture the vibrancy of flowers - been picking them to tape into my sketchbook for further study, but all have wilted or dulled. must figure out a different course of action.

quick 30 minute acrylic painting, getting the feel for the medium.

also still learning how to paint.

soft pastel study of a wren. have a character design in mind for a story i plan on writing and illustrating - need to find an animal more powerful and less cuddly.

soft pastel color study done from a photo, just 'cause. translating colors with soft pastels is tricky, but i'm okay with how this turned out, considering i have rarely used this medium for any observational sketches. note: find a set with white pastel.
