9x12, pencil, 2025
This is my baseline for the painting page, this is one of my sketches I have done for class, I love how cute deer are and flowers. I just looked up some ideas to draw and I seen flowers then I seen a deer so I decided to combine the two together making the deer in a field of flowers.
To make this I just found a reference of two photos, grabbed a piece of paper, and used pencil, anyone could do this. I kind of messed up on some flowers but thats okay and then I added some details to the flowers and the deer to make it show more.
There is no meaning to this sketch at all, deer are their own animal and they are very quiet animals as well. I would sketch something like this again, sketching honestly takes your mind off a lot of stuff even if you doodle something.
I accomplished this drawing pretty well, took me a little bit to get done the whole class period, and when I sketch I don't waste time, I personally love to sketch but everyone is different, and others might disagree.

This painting was from a photo I took while fishing out by the lakes about half way to Clinton, and I could not pass the opportunity of a gorgeous sunset. I didn't do terrible on the painting at all but on some parts of this, I could definitely improve on. Overall this is one of the best paintings ive done since I was younger.
To make this I decided on a photo to paint, so I went to look through my camera roll to find some ideas, I found this and I wanted to do it so first I painted my background a really light blue to match the reference of the background/water. Then, I picked out colors that matched the picture.
There is no meaning to the painting, It shows how much sunsets inspire me they are just really pretty in general. Anyone could do anything they put their mind to, I am very passionate about that saying.
Some parts of this painting you can tell I had some mistakes on the reflection of the bushes/trees but the sun I accomplished on making it look like a reflection. Some things I would change is the way I drew some of the bushes.

I took this photo of a Shirley Temple aka (a kiddie cocktail). I tried my bestest to paint it but the realistic of this picture were far a skill. I could improve on making the cup straighter and figure a better way to shade the realistic of the painting. This is not my favorite painting that I have done but it is not terrible either.
To make this I sent the reference photo to Mrs. Garrity, she printed it off for me and I got started on painting the table color white with some specs of thre different dot colors on it then I did the edge of the table. Then what took me the longest was finding the right shades and painting the drink itself.
There is not any type of message to the painting, besides its sprite and a cherry liquid and some cherries on top, making the drink look delish. It could definitely inspire beginners on the object type of drawings, paintings, etc.
This painting shoes where I messed up. I mostly messed up on the ice and just the lining of the cup otherwise it wouldn't be bad at all. I personally think I did the best on the cherries they are the most realistic thing of the painting.
