Figure Drawing - Midterm and Final

Here is my Midterm Presentation (Weeks 1-7) 

and Final Presentation (Weeks 8-14) 

from my figure drawing course this semester!!

The goal for these presentations was to take our 5 best drawings 

from class each week and compile them into portfolio pages!! These 

are only a few of the many drawings done throughout the semester!!

I still have a long way to go...but I learned so much 

in this class and had an amazing time drawing with 

so many absolutely incredible artists!! 

I'm super excited to be taking clothed figure drawing 

next semester as well...so we'll see how that goes!!

Whew!! My first semester of grad school is done!! 

I can't believe it!!

And to celebrate, I am finally back to update my blog!!

Here is a bunch of stuff from my awesome Color Theory course!!

(Sorry about the blurriness and crookedness of some of the pictures!!)

This is the closest thing I've ever had to a painting class before...

so it was really fun to finally get to paint for my projects!!

We used gouache for most of our assignments...

ahhhhh gouaaaaache!!!!!!

I have to say, gouache is probably one of the most temperamental 

mediums I've ever had to use!! While I've tried playing around 

with it before, I never knew it was so complicated!! 

It was a ridiculous challenge, but it really grew on me as well!! 

By the end of the semester, it was a lot of fun to work with!!

And Color Theory was such a fun class!! 

So many great times with so many great people!! 

So far, grad school has been such an incredible experience!! 

All of my classes have been wonderful and 

I've met so many amazing people!! 

I totally can't wait for next semester!!
