Bears 'N' Pears

Bears 'N' Pears a 2 piece framed and matted watercolor made up of "4" 8.5 x 11 paintings.
 The Journey Into Art Exhibit At The Creative 360 Opening Night March 7, 2012.
 My very talented watercolor instructor Louise Chen and me at the opening ceremony of her new studio and class room. At Serendipity 181 Gallery Midland, MI. 


 I did these for The Journey Into Art exhibit at the Creative 360 In Midland, Michigan.  The Exhibit was organized by the Creative 360, Louise Chen and students. The point of these paintings is to demonstrate the use of shape and water color gradation. Also the use of a simple toned down back grounds and shadows to promote the subjects. Kept it simple and interesting wanted it to have a fun appeal.

This was a project I had to do for the art class I'm taking. A exercise to study color, shape, perspective.
I just added some hollowness and melting to make it more interesting ;-) Watercolor on cold press.

Still Life Eggs

I'm taking a art class. My instructor Louise Chen is a very talented oriental watercolor artist from Thailand. I'm hoping this class will improve my skill level and consistency.  Also I have the pleasure to have one of the biggest influences with me in the class my grandma. She started me in art at a young age.

Sailor Baloo


Just Finished This. Thought it would be appropriate since I'm moving back to Michigan. ;-)

A lot of different techniques were used. The layers got pretty deep. Good Exercise for the mind.

I like to mix hand drawn cartoon illustration with digital graphic design using textures and and multiple layers. It gives it that super deep Disney cell look.

New Sneakers


This is a final digital color I did of the sketch I got from NickWolf
I inked the sketch with a brush and then scanned it into Adobe PS. Then digital colored the lines and added the background and finishing touches.
