These are some sheets of tracing paper that I painted heavily with watercolor. I then spread a light layer of charcoal over it, and took it outside to spray some fixative on it. I put some rocks down on the paper to hold it down from the wind while the fixative was drying. It had recently rained and the rocks were wet, so I think that somehow left those white "bleach" marks on the paper.
The left image is a charcoal rubbing I made of a rock on a recent field trip to some prehistoric sites (as part of Irish Studies class). The right image is just a quick experiment I did with acrylic.
Another quick experiment with acrylic and then a quick collage I made while feeling pretty apathetic about politics in general. The guy there is a prominent political figure in Ireland...it just shows how apathetic I am about it when I can't remember his name. :/
The left picture shows some experiments with hatching marks. The right picture shows more of the charcoal rubbings I made of rocks.
The left picture shows a random experiment I made. The right picture shows some tracings of drawings I had made in the past, and then some butterfly wings glued on. I found the butterfly wings lying by themselves (didn't pull them off), and gluing them on was based on a random suggestion by my MCAD teacher Pam during our last meeting.
Another "cut corner" pile, and a charcoal drawing that later became the setting for the animated drawing I made.
The left drawing was kind of a study, and the blue paper towel doodles were just for fun.
Some drawings I made early on in the semester. The one on the right was part of a workshop with one of the teachers where we were asked to take an observational line drawing and fill it in with "Van Gogh like" mark making. I liked the results, and then made the drawing on the left.
Couple of photos of my studio space.
this is the view from one of my studio windows. Sun beams were coming down from the clouds in the distance.
More "cut corner" piles.
