Art Encyclopedia

Art Encyclopedia
I'm really not liking the site right now, it still refuses to put my pictures the right way, so this ones sideways too!! I tried... I give up.

This is an idea that came to me a couple days ago. An ' Art Encyclopedia'. This came from my summer goal: to get all the stuff to complete my art supply collection and learn about it (how to use it, what makes in unique, what kind of piece would this best be used to make) and to write down various techniques. Originally I was just going research and read but I found myself thinking about the fact that I was NEVER going to be able to remember it all. So I thought, "why not write it all down??". So that's exactly what I'm doing. If you find yourself needing info I've got it... at least I will. I'm on page 20 of 132. I'll finish by the end of the summer, after all I've done 20 pages in 2 days. Though I am encountering some problems: lack of things to research, any ideas?? and an awkward friendship with Google... he seems to want to give me places to buy art supplies not give me information about them:/ I will finish though!!
 

Dolphin

June 19, 2012


I'm getting really fed up with this website, it refuses to let me post pictures right-side up!! So I guess you'll have to deal with it, I've tried everything and it won't budge. So I'm sorry about that.

The mediums used on this are a black carbon sketch pencil for the dolphin and soft pastels for the sky, sun, and water. The camera on my iPhone is awful so the shading on the dolphin did not show up very well so my dolphin looks white. I could make the shading darker and take another picture bu...

Musical Abstract

June 12, 2012

This is one of two drawings that I was 'commissioned' to do for my stepmom. This is an abstract that includes 2 of the 5 instruments that she plays: guitar and violin. This is a charcoal drawings and as with any 'smudge-able' pencil it does have some stubborn marks that would not come off>:(  

*I did not come up with this on my own. I re-drew the original picture that I found on www.123rf.com.

First Try At Realism

June 12, 2012

Okay, first of all, its not meant to be sideways but the sites being stubborn so I just left it. Second, this is my first try at drawing something that's realistic, I'm more of an abstract kind of person, and I think it went well for my first try. I went with black and white because.... well I really don't know why, and if you asked me why I chose a rose I couldn't answer that either soooooo I guess I was just winging it.
  I have horrible, awful, stubborn erasers and that's why you can still ...

May 28, 2012


This painting is like the background to my mind, to all my thoughts. The colors represent my emotions and feelings about situations. Its always changing in my head but this is what its been the past few days. My best friend said that she liked the fact that different people could see different things in it. What do you see??

Sunburst

May 25, 2012

This is my first painting. Its titled 'Sunburst' because of the sunburst like patteren in the back ground. This particular picture shows how the canvas looked at the end of each of the 4 days I spent working on it. I got my inspiration for this picture from my schools End of Grade tests actually, siting in a quiet, boring classroom for hours on end can bring out a lot of bright, vibrant colors and patterens. So next time youre brain dead for ideas go sit in a classroom for 3 hours:)
