Illustration Friday- Moon

This weeks topic was "Moon". I used to listen to a song by Concrete Blonde called "Underneath the Mexican Moon", so I decided to make a mexican-inspired moon! This is a page in my art journal, but I had so much fun with it, I think i'll turn it into a bigger painting with bright, fun fiesta colors!

Motif Drawing in Ink

This is one of the motif drawings I did for class....there's another one with 50 flowers that I will have to add later...that one just won't fit on my scanner!

Photographs from today

I went to the Covington Cemetary today to take some photographs to use in collages and paintings, etc. I took almost 100 photographs, and so many of them turned out awesome! I decided to post a few of the best ones here. I'll be going Tuesday to the cemetaries in New Orleans with one of the girls from my painting class....I can't wait!

Charcoal Drawings From Class

Here are some pics of the drawings I've done in class! They are darker in real life- I guess the flash was too bright on the camera..oh, well!
