purple

whoops! forgot one painting. i was rather fond of this one. 

by the way, you should be very excited for my next post. 

it's all ready and everything. i'm just not posting it yet for pure suspense. 

just so you know. 

painting heads and such

as usual, this post is quite a bit late. 

the following are from bob barrett's head painting class from the winter '11 (january-april, 2011) semester. since then, i've improved significantly. as artists, we're told it's a good thing to look back on a piece of work we once thought was good and dislike it, because it means we're progressing. so i just wanted to post these asap before i really despise them all. which may or may not be...really soon. hopefully.

{notes: all are oil paintings, either on canvas or board. the second painting was the first one i did that semester. the second-to-last painting was one of my favorites, mainly for the color scheme. to see drawings from that class, click here.}
