So! As I might have told you guys, though I honestly can't remember if I did, I am currently in the 2nd oil painting class in my journey of being a painting major. My first oil painting class did not go well, I was very into doing washes of color...such as one would do when using water colors...which does not work very well. I got a C. Good LORD was I bummed out.
Now I'm in my second oil painting  class and y'know what? I actually feel like I'm hitting my stride! It took me about halfway through the semester to make stuff that I'm getting pretty excited about! So here are two WIP that are noooot at all done but that I'm getting pretty psyched about! XD

Hello Humans!
I AM SO CLOSE TO SUMMER! I can almost taste it (lemonade, fresh cut grass, hot dogs, and pool water in case you were curious). I have a ridiculous amount of stuff to do...so much...so much stuff guys...I'm terrified. I have about 6 or 7 paintings to finish up for my oils class, so many papers, and a vessel for metal smithing (and guys, I am no metalsmith...it's not my thing...).
HOWEVER, I am super excited to be closer to summer cause that means more time for the art I wanna do! Huzzah!
Some of the stuff's I'm working on. The two copper bowl looking images are my vessel project for metal smithing. The one with all the black lines is for my chasing. Which best I can tell is when you fill a metal vessel with wax and then punch in bits of it. It's a good stress reliever.


The green and pink/blue paintings are portraits I'm working on. The green one was a study and I'm beginning the final piece tonight. The pink one, the painting portion is done and I'm now adding a bunch of texture through embroidery...so we'll see if I like it...













Finally this loveliness on the bottom is my figure in the environment piece...still majorly in progress..

Overall I'm super happy with the volume and quality of stuff I've been churning out this year. I'm not to a point where I feel AT all like I know what I'm doing, but it's a lot of fun :).
