Sketches & Miscellany

Here are some miscellaneous paintings. I've been using this chunky brown paper scrapbook a lot recently, and I like the way white paint stands out on it. That said, the pages will stick together if I paint on them consecutively, so I have to be cautious there, but that's just standard notebook things. Two acrylic paintings can't kiss. They'll destroy each other.

A painting of three wobbly creatures, in white and black paint on brown paper.
Some creatures.

I tried to make the same painting twice, using this beautiful reference picture of my aunt's dog:

A dog gazes up at the camera.

Neither one turned out quite how I wanted, but it's interesting to see a version on white vs a version on brown.

I didn't really define the shapes well enough in either, and the proportions are all weird, but there she is, emerging.

A picture of three trees silhouetted against the sky.A rough painting sketch of the trees.

This one is a quick landscape sketch from a photo of a few trees I took at the beginning of January.

A four panel comic in thick paintstrokes. A girl looks at a dog, the dog gazes back, the girl touches the dog's face, and the girl smiles.

And finally, a comic, of sorts.
