Both of these Japanese inspired scrolls are done in water color. I really enjoyed using water color to paint things in nature so I chose to do both scrolls about something in nature. Both of them tell a story, on of the growth of a flower, the other the death of a tree through the seasons.
This project is inspired by ancient styles of painting with dots. The flowers in the piece above are all done in different size and color dots. The dots were made with the bottom of different sized paintbrushes and the whole painting is done in tempera paint.
This project was done by creating a design on a piece of paper and tracing the design onto tracing paper with a soft lead pencil. The tracing paper was put onto the white construction paper shown above. By racing the backside of the design, the lead from the tracing paper design is transferred onto the paper. This process is repeated to create an identical copy and painted in with tempera paint.
This portrait of Lady Gaga is done on white construction paper. The portrait was drawn by dividing the paper and the source picture into identical grids and copying down what was seen in each grid square to create the final image. Gaga is drawn in a soft lead pencil.
This piece is done on white construction paper. The ribbons were sketched and shaded with a dark lead pencil and the background is done in both soft and hard lead pencil. The ribbons' shading are meant to depict the shadows and highlights created by the twisting of a ribbon under a light source.
