Any one want ice cream?





















This is a 15x12 in impasto painting of ice cream cones. The idea behind this was to keep it simply and create visual texture. The main two medias I used for this was achrilic paint and also a special type of paint that can create texture. I tried to stick to the basics by simply using shadows, color harmony, and texture to make this piece interesting pleasing to the sight. There are a few problems with the cones to where one of them looks a bit off but that I believe was do to me only visualizing and not prepping. I tried to create all of the cones simply from observation and I didn't use any science and measurement.

Lincoln in white and black

This is a 16x12 assembly with a charcoal drawing on top of it. I created this piece by taking a lot of sheets of papers with different designs and then gluing them down. After that I added a layer of achrilic paint to allow the sheets of paper in the background to come together. After that I drew a portrait of president Lincoln in white and black charcoal on the top. I think over all it turned out really good. I had to keep in mind that I had to make this a drawing and show marksmanship which an assembly doesn't really work the best to show that. With that limitation in mind, I did my best and it turned out over all not bad.
