Click on the image and view a painting. A painting that serves as evidence of my first semester of Art School. Let me tell you, it was quite a semester, starting in September and running until the 23rd of December 2006.

After about three weeks the semester became a time of non-stop sitting on my ass painting, drawing and obliterating any semblance of a sane sleeping pattern. I grew a potbelly, grew my hair out, and learned a lot about where I stand when it comes to drawing.

About the painting.

The rundown:
6.25″ x 10″, Gouche Watercolor Paint on Cold-Press Illustration Board. Presently Untitled.

It was painted for an assignment in my Introductory Color and Design class. The task was to create a pattern design that would interest and confuse a viewer’s eye at the same time. The design had to be complex and interesting enough to accomplish this. The key here was to produce a pattern with rhythm and visual movement. I think I accomplished this. In fact I am really happy with the color scheme I chose and how I was able to harmonize it. I scanned and took pictures of the basic steps to this project. Check em’ out.

Rough Colors and an unused alternative.
