PrismaColor

This was done at the end of last school year, but it's still one of my favorites. This was actually my first piece that I ever did in a color medium. It's done with colored pencils on mat board, (used for framing pictures). My teacher likes using mat board because of the texture it offers. It lets you put down more layers of color without getting the surface too waxy. I entered this one in the county fair, along with "Our Journey's Through", and it won a director's choice.(Basically 4th Place) This meant it did not qualify for the state fair, but I still enjoy it. (This is an image directly from the internet, but it was meant as a study of colored pencil technique, and I am not using it for any personal profit.)

First Watercolor

So, this is my very first watercolor ever. The background was done using a wet-in-wet technique, and the rest was wet-on-dry. Some of the painting around the edges got cut out in the picture, but I hope you can get the general idea. Anyway, I hope that I can figure out the delicate science of watercolor this year. It should be an adventure!

State Fair

The State Fair was a lot of fun to go to. My family and I had a great time. This picture ended up winning Best of Show at the County Fair, and fourth place in the amateur fine arts division at the State Fair. It is titled "Our Journey's Through". I had entered art in the county fair for quite a few years in a row, but had not won anything for them, so this was really an amazing experience! A limited number of gallery quality prints are available for purchase for $50, plus shipping,  if anyone is interested.  :)
