Liv's Art Portfolio

Liv Gregoire "Baseline"

4x6" Watercolor on Paper 2024

My idea was to make this flower with some of my favorite colors. Sometimes when i'm bored in my classes I like to draw these flowers so I just decided to do this flower because it was something easy that I already knew how to do. It was a good thing to do for my first thing for this class.

Liv Gregoire "Alani"

9x12" Acrylic on Panel 2024

My idea is to do an alani. I first developed this idea because I drink alani's almost everyday and cosmic stardust is my favorite flavor. I wanted to pick something a little bit basic to do for my first one so I could get the hang of it before doing my harder paintings. This artwork symbolizes how much something so small can mean to you. I drink alanis a lot and they help me get through my day. The most difficult thing for me was staying productive and working on something. I feel like alot of the time I was going over the same things over and over again which made the project take alot longer than it needed too. This painting is realistic. One thing I like about my project is that I made it my own by added my name at the bottom of my can. I also really like how I made it look good even though it isn't very meaningful. I love how I tried my best to make the colors match so it would look perfect.

Liv Gregoire "Sunset"

8x10" Acrylic on Panel 2024

My idea is to make a pretty sunset but for it to have meaning. I think sunsets are very pretty and I love to take pictures of them and look at them. This was a little challenging for me because it was hard to get all of the details and blend the sunset good. I got this picture from one of my friends so i could give it to them as a gift so I wanted to make sure it looked good. Sunsets are very relaxing and I think they are super pretty. I think that sunsets symbolize people who have passed away and they are showing you that they are still there. I struggled to do all of the flowers and grass at the bottom because I didn't know how to make it look realistic. The most difficult thing for me was doing the plants and all of the grass at the bottom because I didn't know how to make them look real. I thought I stayed pretty focused on most of the project but sometimes I felt like I wasnt doing it right so I would just stop. This project is realistic. One thing i like about this project is that I am using a picture from someone elses house so it means alot to me and I can give it to them for Christmas. I think it turned out really good and im glad to give it to her for Christmas.

Liv Gregoire "Jellyfish"

16x20" Acrylic on Panel 2024

My idea was to make a really cool and realistic jellyfish. I was inspired to do this because during school I always sketch them and they are supper fun to make and design on your own. It was very challenging for me to do all of the little tentacles and the little details that would bring it together and make it look good. I really enjoyed blending out the different colors and making it my own. It was fun to add all of the little highlights at the end and make it look perfect. Sometimes I would get little ahead of myself and start adding things that I didnt actually like so I ended up painting over alot of the tentacles and redoing alot of the little white lines. I stayed very focused on this painting and got it done in about 2 weeks. This painting is realistic. I really like how I did the top of the jellyfish because when I tried to do it the first time I didnt really like the colors or how I was doing it so I painted over it and chose colors that I liked best and colors that were going to be easier for me to blend and work with.

Liv Gregoire "Cardinal"

8x10" Acrylic on Panel 2024

I got this Idea because I wanted to do something for my grandma who passed away and I thought it would be a good gift to give to my grandpa for Christmas. It was challenging for me to make the perfect shades of red and get good colors. I struggled on the face a little bit because it was hard to do the eyes and all of the small details that made it look good in the end. I wanted to make this look really good because it was really meaningful to me and my grandpa. This painting is realistic. One thing I liked about this painting is that I wanted to give it to someone so that motivated me to want to do it better. One thing I didnt like about this painting is that it was a little bit easy and I wish I wouldve chose something a little more challenging for my last painting. I really like how I blended the background and did different colors instead of just doing one solid color. Im proud that even if I didnt like how something looked I still tried my best to fix it and still make it look good. Im super happy I was able to do something meaningful and give it to someone I love.

Liv Gregoire "Baseline Finish"

4x6" Acrylic on Paper 2024

Painting ll D1B2 Semester 2

Hi, my name is Liv G. and I am a sophomore. I enjoy making calm artwork using acrylic paint and colorful backgrounds. My art is inspired by nature, emotions, and personal ideas from my life. This portfolio includes some of my finished and in-progress paintings.

Liv Gregoire "Baseline"

4x6" Acrylic on Paper 2026

I decided to do this for my baseline because i knew I wanted to do something that wasnt going to be to complex for my first thing of the year. I really enjoyed making this and learning how to do trees and using different colors that people may not have always used. I really liked adding the moon to make it look real and making cute little stars.

Liv Gregoire "Stars"

9x12" Acrylic on Panel 2026

I got this idea because I wasnt sure what to do and I really liked this idea because I knew I could make it meaningful. I got inspired from my grandma which is why I added the constellation for her birthday. I used a fan brush to make the trees and the end of a brush to get the perfect dots for each light. I also used a normal brush to blend the sky together. It was difficult to get the sky to have the perfect mix of colors and make it how I wanted. I used realistic and to make it my own I added the star for my grandma and I love how the sky turned out.

Liv Gregoire "Butterfly"

11x14" Acrylic on Canvas 2026

My idea was to do a butterfly because I wanted to challenge myself with the designs on the wings and be able to work over challenges. I started by sketching out the wings and try to get them symmetrical and then I would go through each little design and make sure they looked right. Once I finished the butterfly, to add a little color I did flowers at the bottom of it. It ws difficult to not smear the charcol because I used that on alot of the design because it was easier to control it and put it where I want. This is realistic and I made it my own by adding flowers to add a pop of color.

Liv Gregoire "Shark"

9x12" Acrylic on Canvas 2026

I got the idea for this painting from my brother wanting a shark tattoo because of a quote he likes. I thought sharks were interesting and calm-looking, so I wanted to make my own version in an artistic style instead of making it realistic. I wanted the painting to feel peaceful and simple. I painted the background blue first and then added the shark shape in the middle. After that, I used white paint to create dots and lines for texture and movement. I also added swirls around the shark to make it feel like it was underwater. The shark represents calmness, strength, and confidence. The blue background helps create a peaceful ocean feeling. The white patterns and swirls are meant to show movement in the water. The hardest part was making the shark shape look balanced and not messy. I fixed this by simplifying some details and taking my time with the lines. If I started over, I would probably add more shading. This artwork is more abstract and stylized than realistic. I like making calm art with simple colors and clean designs. My favorite part is the contrast between the white details and the blue background.

Liv Gregoire "Baseline Finish"

4x6" Acrylic on Paper 2024

I wanted to paint a calm sunset with a tree silhouette. I like peaceful nature art and sunset colors. I blended blue, purple, pink, and black paint to make the sky. Then I painted the tree and hills black and added stars. The tree represents peace and growth. The sunset colors help create a calm feeling. The hardest part was blending the colors together smoothly. If I did it again, I would add more details to the tree. This painting is semi-realistic. I like using calm colors and nature themes in my artwork.
