it's a long way down...

School's finally done!!!
Here's the final lines for my final painting...

Here are the two colour roughs, I almost did the first one since everyone liked it more, but then my teacher came around and said she liked the bottom one more, so....

Here's my final piece, done with watered down gouache and many tired hours...


It's odd to think the first year is already done, I need to take full advantage of this summer, to build myself up a bit more and also take some time to just relax now and then...I'd like to get a better idea of the human figure and lose my intense reliance on line by working on form and such...maybe fool around with brush ink too...but all in good time...

Great piece. I love the linework on the sketch. You draw horses beautifully :)

I bought one of your prints of this during Art Walk. It's really awesome--I love everything about it! Your art is very creative and I like the various concepts and emotions you display through it.
