Cathedral Study


This is one of the pieces I made over the summer. I had the most fun doing this piece because I really enjoyed re-creating the subject. I'm looking to do architecture in the future, and the photograph of this cathedral sparked my interest because it protrayed such an interesting architecture structure. I used charcoal and a blue prisma color.

Shipwreck




I used charcoal and watercolor in this piece, and I experimented with a new erasure technique. I wanted to show the movement of a small boat through the ocean. I think that the picture came out well overall, but I think I could have picked a better boat. The boat I drew from obsevation was not very detailed, it was very simple and I think that the piece would have been stronger with a more intense boat. I like the colors though :)
