Monochromatic Still Life

My very first 18x24 piece!

I won't say how long it took...but many hours were spent on my bedroom floor completing it.

It was so hard making the objects so big. There's still quite a few places I could touch up on it, but for now, I am abandoning it!

Leaf assignment

I'm ashamed to say that this picture took me two weeks. I worked slowly and had no motivation.

But I'm happy it's over and ready for the next assignment!

Oil Painting Progress

Here you can see my monochromatic oil painting progress. I hadn't felt or seen myself improving at painting until I laid all my paintings out on my bed room floor and was very pleased with the result!

Of course, these are just shapes and only in black and white...there's still lots of unlearned territory to cover yet!
