Fullness

This is an art journal piece using a technique taught in an online class, Spectrum.  Basically, have a topic in mind (Fullness) and write about it in pen all over the pages until you feel complete and have direction.  Then start adding paint intuitively.  Magazine images can be added, too.  I like how it (and I) feel complete and satisfied when it is done.  I also like how there is usually a lesson or a transformation that occurs when doing work like this.

Raven

This is a quick sketch done for the Fairy Tale Illustration class.  It is pencil on tracing paper using an eraser to smudge the pencil to shade and create feather texture.  Very fun.
