"Fantasia"

8x12", Marker, Pen, 2021I had this idea by thinking of utilizing the practice of doing different body poses. I first sketched, outlined with sharpie, filled in with marker, and added my final touches with a white pen. There is really no message to the painting, I meant for it to just be decorative and for aesthetic purposes only. The hardest challenge of this drawing was blending the marker color together to make sure it didn’t look incomplete or missing any spots. I’d say this drawing is surreal because of the colors and designs.

"Promise?"

11x14”, Watercolor, Marker, Beads, Glitter, Sharpie, Magazine Cut-Outs, 2021 I got this idea from movies and tv and popular media, especially shows about cults or one that feature a woman as the main character of conflict in a horror film or show. In my process, I made a rough sketch, laid down the watercolor with the process of blending. I outlined any harsh line switch sharpie for a cleaner look. Then I glued on my magazine pieces, added beads and markers for outline. To top it off, I added a holographic glitter. This artwork’s message shows two girls in an ominous promise, but I wanted to show the slight horror side and leave the audience wondering what the promise could quite be. I’d say that my work again is surreal because of the many aspects I put into it.

"Don't play nice"

15x9", Acrylic, Marker, Sharpie, Colored Pencil, Magazine Cut-Outs, 2021 I started my project with drawing a plain figure, and then with the layering of marker got this idea. It's supposed to be crime scene esque idea, although it could be interpreted any way it's wants to be. In my process, it was definitely a lot of layering, starting out with the marker, then paint, then colored pencil for a more smooth look. Then in a last move I made the decision to flip through a magazine and glue on some pieces I thought were cool. The mesage or theme is basically synonymous for whatever it wants to be. The most diificult part of creating this was basically deciding what I wanted to do next.

"Cassidy"

20x16", Acrylic, Glitter, Paint Marker, 2021I got this idea when I thought about doing a portrait. I didn't know who to draw, so I chose my girlfriend's face because I know her face well, and I've practiced drawing her before. The process was, I first did the sketch and traced it, then laid down the first layers of painting and went from there with blending. I then used a paint marker to keep solid lines, and glitter to make things pop. By far this project is my least favorite and the hardest to make because painting is not my forte and realism is definitely out of the question. If I could do this again I'd make the face different and more my style and then put more surrealism into it, just because. I tend to like more detail then less and I feel like it's lacking something.
