Stairs to canal

This is marker and pencil crayon.
This was a class project I did a few years ago. It took me a long time because I realised that my perspective was way off and had to start again. I'm glad I did because the final result is impressive. Well at least I'm impressed.
The only thing is I can't remember what grade I got on this project.
Oh well it really doesn't matter.

Water Colour tests

The Palm tree on the sand kinda went a bit runny. The blue I used for the aqua kind of over-powered the sand colour. So what I ended up with is a water logged island. Almost like the plam tree is growing out of the ocean. I did use a dark green felt tip pen on the leaves of the palm tree. It looked like a blob before I put in a few lines.
I like how the sunset turned out. The clouds and the pinks in the water really seem to pop. I think it really looks like the setting sun over the ocean. Oddly enough for such a small painting it took me a long time to get the colours right.

Wing Goddess

Van and Hitomi from the Escaflowne movie.
I liked the movie and the series that these characters came from so much I had to try a painting.
I did the painting in guache and then did the outlines in black ink. Then I scanned the painting into the computer because I had droped water on the paper which made a large stain in the corner of the page. Lucky for me that the computer can make such errors disappear. the Original has splarkles on her wings, but when scanned, the sparkles looked like dirt so I took them out.

Alizee

Okay so this is my first post and apparently it didn't turn out as planed.
First the colours are all wrong, but they are kind of neat though. I'll have to find out what went wrong so that this doesn't happen again. And once it's fixed I'll re post the pic.
Why did I paint this? I hadn't painted in a while and wanted to see wath I could still do. I'm a little out of practice but overall I liked the results. The painting itself is acrylic paint on a 3 foot tall by 2 foot wide canvas. It took me about 2 weeks to paint. The words are from a french song called Alizee. I wrote the words on the canvas then painted lightly over them. In some spots a little too lightly because they show though were I didn't want them to. Oops!
