Watercolor 248

Back to Loose

Plus a Dresser Drawer Project

Art school stuff from last week:

Two-point perspective (with mess-ups, haha)

Pen and ink exercise -- with ball-point pen; my Microns finally came in the mail :)

Pastels exercise, only 8 inches wide

Plus, a dresser drawer project:

The insides of these drawers were really rough, so I lined them with contact paper. That way, clothes and other things won't get snagged on splintery parts.

I removed the handles and reattached them afterward, also. Not the best job, but it's neat enough for my purposes, and it will work. :)

inside of the front, with reattached handles

finished drawer!

I made sure to place the front pieces of lining well below the edge, so that nothing would show on the front of the dresser when all the drawers are closed. It is quite a fine thing now, if I do say so myself! XD

Revised Project

From Bridget 

The friend asked that the apron be shortened and slightly reshaped. Job done in one-a-half hours, without taking apart the whole thing. Remarkable.

Another Simple One

My reference was extremely poor, so the likeness is missing, but the technique was the goal, and that worked.

A Small Classes Update

Art school is going well; I am not too far behind yet, and most of my classes and fellow students are fun.

more perspective exercises - I messed up the bottom one, so I improvised haha

Also, just something interesting this past week, when I was googling how to convert my phone drawings from RGB colors to CYMK (fyi, there isn't really a way, at least not without obtaining additional programs and going through a few complicated-sounding steps, unfortunately), I came across the CYMK primary color graph. I'd forgotten it existed, haha.

That is all. If you have any other options to suggest, I would appreciate it; anyway, it is not really important. :)
