(12x9", modeling paste+aryclic paint, 2026)  

I got this idea from seeing multiple paintings that do the dots instead of painting. I like to do a bunch of different styles and experiment with different types of art. Since I've made a 3D artwork before, I wanted to see what else I could do. I used modeling paste to make texture. The mountains are all lifted, the grass is pokey, and the water has waves indented. For the dots, I made a bunch of different colors to match what I was painting. On the mountains, I added pink and yellow to give it a feeling of the sun beating on the tops.  I really just eyeballed the painting to see what looked best. To make the dots, I used the end of a paintbrush and kept dipping it in the paint, then onto the canvas. I want people to see how much time I put into this with all the dots and textures, since I take a long time on my paintings. The dots were the hardest part since it took forever, and matching the colors to a different shade from before. I would kind of consider this realistic since it's still a landscape, but used with shapes and a different style of painting. 

(12x9", Oil pastel, 2026) 

I wanted to experiment with oil pastel cause I haven't since middle school. I did this in one of my sketches and thought to make it again with oil pastel. I started off by sketching the eye onto the canvas and the inside of the eye to make it transition into an ocean. I like using color, so I used bright and vibrant colors for the skin and blue for the eyeball. I used my hand to blend a lot of it in and then used a white pen for the little details.  While looking at this drawing your able to see what the drawings seeing. It sees an ocean on a cloudy day and is happy with all the colors surrounding it. The most difficult part was trying to use the right colors for the right things. The biggest struggle was that if I didn't like the color or the way it looked, I had to scrape off the oil pastel, which wouldn't always come off since it stained the canvas. I would consider this another realistic artwork, but with multiple different colors and art styles all added to it. I love the way all the colors ended up going together and matching. 

(Clay, 2026) 

I saw a vase in a store that had the top as a flower, and I loved the way it looked, and I figured I could make something like it.  I started by making the vase and petals to add on top of it. I then molded it to the way I wanted the petals to look. Once it was fired, I layered different glazes onto pf eachother to get a cool color. I made it as a vase so I could put flowers in it that match the top of it. The hardest thing was to get the petals to stay on and not fall off. The first time, I glazed it, I didn't like the way it turned out, so I glazed it another time, but I still didn't like the color it came out. The final time I glazed it, I liked the way it turned out and decided to keep it and not mess with it anymore, and risk it breaking. I love the way it turned out. I would like to change the glaze color, but it still turned out.
