*yawn* Work, yay. -_-' It went well enough albeit slightly boring today...

Other than that though, I am such an industrious slacker. How can I spend four hours reading a different book while one of the summer reading books sits less than two feet away from me? I amaze myself sometimes. And not in the good way. Tomorrow = day of reading about transcendentalism. >_<

Anyways, the real reason for my post is that I finished a new picture for my Masters of Their Field story. And it's watercolor. I haven't done watercolor in about two years. O_o Y'see when my family moved from New Jersey to New Hampshire halfway through my sophomore year, my Art 2 class had yet to start wc. I'd personally bought my supplies though so figuring I'd use them eventually, I packed my pad of paper, brushes, and paints into my art supply box and largely forgot their existence. A little over a month ago, I found them again, and decided to have a romp down memory lane. Overall, I really like how this came out, especially the skin tones which turned out decent. Watercolor's definitely my color medium of choice. *grin*



Whoo, I figured out how to use the scrapbook! (Click to view it larger.)


Next time expect a character post centered around Count Jean-Marie (including a watercolor of him) since I loves him so.

I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, it did. Mainly because I haven't used watercolors in forever, and I was worried about screwing it up. I actually had to recall perspective too. It's been ages since I've done a complete background. *facepalm*

I've tried working with watercolors, but they came out horrible. Bleh. It worked out beautifully.

They give me headaches, but eh, I'm a masochist.

I did my best stuff when I took Art in high school, but I'm too impatient to take my time like I did for that class.

Wow, it's pretty much the opposite for me. I did well, but I hated having to perform on command and with a time limit.

We could work on the various projects during class and take as much or as little time as we liked.

;__; Man, I wish they let my classes do that! What kind of projects did you mostly like to do?

I did a project that was half regular pencil and half colored pencil. It's in my DevArt gallery.
