Massive Amounts of Art
I got around to photographing the images that I did during my summer school class and managed to clean them up as well. As always, however, they're so much cooler in person.
To save space all detail shots are links, they will open in a new window, but they will also open in the SAME window (meaning, click one, pops up, click another and it appears in the same window)
Just a note, many of these won't be making an appearance elsewhere except maybe my website when I finally update it again. Oh, and the life drawing stuff, there's not much nudity to speak of
Captivity and Freedom, final drawing for Drawing III this last spring. Three pieces of 22"X30" paper (total 66"X30") printmaking paper with charcoal.

Charcoal on 22"X30" BFK Reeves paper, still life with twine, fishing hooks, feathers, and coins.

Small (approx. 2"X3") watercolor piece of Ruby I did for Chris on Valentine's Day
An abstract piece where we took an object and "exploded" it, focusing on one type of composition. I rather disliked working on it due to the intensive thumbnailing required for the composition (HATE excessive thumbnailing). Drawing III assignment, charcoal on 22"X30" BFK Reeves.
Drawing III, first assignment, dense and heavy with charcoal on drawing paper. Hoof Nippers!
Drawing III, first assignment, light and airy with charcoal on drawing paper, nippers again!
Drawing III, first assignment, light and airy pencil, the pocket knife that Chris gave me for my birthday a year and a half ago.
Screen print, two colors for Teaching Art Processes. Hurra for lines!
Teaching Art Processes, with hoof nippers! We had to do a value scale and then create a still life using all the shades on the scale, pencil on 18X24ish drawing paper.
Small painting for Teaching Art Processes, it had to tell a story: The Story
Watercolor in Teaching Art Processes
Drawing for Oma and Opa of Zel, Opa's first horse who passed away in December. He was registered as Hazel in The Registry for the Arabian Horse, but we always just called him Zel. I learned to ride on him and he stuck around for a good 29 years. Colored pencil on 11X14 paper, I only used 11 pencils as a challenge to myself and I continue to refuse to use black.
For the Horse Art RPG on Deviantart, the "breeding fee" for a stallion is to draw an image of him and your mare (in this case Compass, the bay on the right is my mare), and then when the foal is "born" you draw a picture of the foal. I'm rather low-key about it, but others get quite involved. This was a fun break from everything else, ignore poor anatomy, I only used a vague amount of references for this.
Straight hatching, lines in one direction.
I really enjoyed working with the ink washes in my Life Drawing Class, these are small and they took about three hours each.
I like the passage with the girl's back through the chair.
In Life Drawing II we did a few experimental pieces and this one dealt with emphasis, it also ended up leading into what I did for my final portfolio and expanded on the little line horses that I've been doodling in the same vein as my watermark.
Image one of seven for the portfolio.
Image two of seven for the portfolio.
Image three of seven for the portfolio.
Image four of seven for the portfolio.
Image five of seven for the portfolio.
Image six of seven for the portfolio. I noticed that the lines became less bold as I went along, but I think I can blame that on having better control of the brush.
Image seven of seven for the portfolio. This was the hardest one to do because the model kept on moving every three minutes, maybe five. By the end of the session just about every one in the room was ready to throttled him.
First piece for the class, 19"X25" pastel on canson paper. We were given the guidelines of: "Organic and Geometric." Kywehn has finally appeared in a "finished" piece.

Homework, creating a composition that uses blocking to obscure the subject.
Second homework assignment in which we were supposed to include the viewer/draw them in, pastels on 11"X14" Pastelbord by Amperstand.

Second assignment for the class (we were given them as we finished them, some of us got more done than others, heh). We were asked to create an image that had multiple perspectives or views of an object/scene. I think this is a 22"X30" with both hard and soft pastels. Still rebelling against using black, it might work out of my system eventually. Steeplechasing cool and nuts at the same time. Granted, it's a lot more dangerous than flat racing.
