5 Best Pieces So Far

The first image I chose is this watercolor sailboat. I felt like this was the first time I understood the idea of a loose technique. I tried to manipulate the paint in different ways and this time I let the paint do what it wanted to do, with a little bit of my own technique.
This next image is of a cherry blossom tree. I used a blotching technique for the flowers and used solid line and loose filler form with the inside of the tree and the grass. I really liked the way this one turned out.
This was a full size watercolor of the antique photo we chose. I really enjoyed this assignment. I think I accurately depicted her sweetness and shyness. I liked the soft colors I chose as well. Overall I was really pleased with this piece of work.
This was the first piece of artwork I have ever done that I was truly proud of. I have never rendered someone and made them look like the person I am trying to render. This was a very encouraging step for me in illustration and art as a whole. I had a lot of motivation and I think I used it accurately to produce this watercolor.
This 5th piece was my first image gauche montage. I really liked the colors I used and the objects turned out pretty well. I really like the background sky and the anchor. I wish the sailboat was a little bigger so there could be more detail. I think the bottom of the lighthouse could use more work and some different stroking to show the curved shape of the lighthouse.
