I love my pasta

It;s an 8.5x11 picture of my bowl of pasta, almost cleaned because I like pasta haha. The lighting at the bottom right makes this picture seem a lot lighter then it is, in real life that part gets very close to basically being black. Aside from that I just took a picture and I tried to used achrilic paint to replicate the picture. Considering I am not the best at paint I am very happy with how it turned out, I actually see some improvement in this painting then the last one I did, I am starting to be able to blend colors a lot better. So I am happy I tried to paint again even if it is not my strongest part.

The best way to describe this is long, painful, but rewarding. I had never used oiled pastels prior to this so I am glad that I used them. While it did not turn out perfect or to the level which I wanted, I still enjoyed the learning experience. So I focused on a small part of the dishwasher to try to not have too many things for the eyes to wonder. It is not my best work but I didn't know oil pastels would be so difficult and time consuming but I tried my best.

beach house

It is an 8.5x 11 art work of the beach house i was in this week. I only had one pencil and my sketch book so I try to do this as best as I could. I did not have a ruler so I am very proud of my lines and how it all ended up turning out. I put in a good 6 hrs but it still did not turn out the way I wanted it, I guess it is not my forte to do architectural
