Black and White Painting Part 3





Part 3 of my black and white acrylic painting series. This one is a little different from the other two because I added some different kinds of texture on the forehead area using a mix of cotton balls and tissue paper saturated in white acrylic paint. I think it gives the painting a bit of an edge and a distinct look.

Black and White Painting


This is one of three paintings I did. They're acrylic on canvas, and all of them were done using only black acrylic paint. It was definitely a challenge trying to keep all the lines clean and not smear any of the paint, but I really enjoyed painting all of them because it was something different that I had never tried before. Overall, I think they turned out very well.

Traditional Native American Art





Some ink illustrations. This is a more modern version of a traditional Navajo Yei bi Chei piece. it's done on cardboard and I used a large variety of markers and pens including, sharpies, inks, alcohol based,  paint markers, and ball point pens. Because of the brown tone of the cardboard, the pinks didn't come out as vibrant as I wanted them too, but I think the overall composition turned out much better then I had planned.

Ethnic Diversity




Acrylic on canvas. Just trying to paint some different ethnicities and experiment with different skin tones. I think I could have done her eyes differently now that I see the finished product, but overall I'm happy with the colors and shading. The accent colors framing the picture are a little on the weird side, not really sure what I was trying to do, but I think the piece turned out as close to how I originally envisioned it.

Winter Soldier Stencil




Two layer stencil of "The Winter Soldier" character from the Marvel Captain America comics. Not a super detailed cut, but the stars were definitely a bit of a challenge. It's a spray paint stencil done on small sheets of cardboard. Overall I think it's a good print even though some of the lines are a bit fuzzy.
