traditional art

A drawing of Amy with her hair braided and tied with a red silk sash.

It’s a Pokemon doodle kind of day today!

Couldn’t forget to draw Vaporeon, could I?

This colorful painting was created using gouache paint to give an illustrative design feel. The subject is a cow painted using non-local colors like pink and violet, contrasting the orange sky background. I love the small clover flower the cow appears to be smelling in the foreground of this piece. For more in my gallery, please visit ArtsyDrawings.com!

It’s a Billy Connolly inspired piece this time around…

I decided to explore negative space, hoping to develop a better sense of composition.

8 x 8 on birch wood panel + the original doodles that lead to the painting. This painting brings back memories of childhood.

All this and possibly some other things.
