Summer Homework

Ok, this one is mostly going to be pictures with me saying very briefly what they are. This isn't all of my work, just my favorite ones that I took pictures of, because I don't want to take pictures of all thirty of them. (Note for Stashia: I'm replacing my synectics with my summer homework)

So these are shells, very simple, I only used charcoal, I didn't outline them at all which was fun and good practice.

This was fun to make, I'm pretty sure this is just marker, but it was a lot of fun to draw. And then, I put white glitter on the background. I still have glitter all over my backpack, cubby, bedroom, etc...

This was water color and marker, I think the flowers are marker and the background is water color, but I might have also used water color for part of the flowers.

This one was just fun and simple. I used black and grey marker, and it was just fun to make something sweet and simple.

The picture didn't turn out very well for this one, (I'm definitely NOT a photographer) but it's a lion made with graphite and a water color background.

This one was a lot of fun to make! The very background is water color, then I used sharpie for the spots, then acrylic for the base color of the giraffe, then another sharpie for it's spots and hair on the tail, then a thin sharpie to outline the giraffe and add it's face details.

This is all acrylic, and it's a simplistic painting of my mom. I don't know why I did it in all blue, other than that's my mom's favorite color and I still had a lot of blue left over from another painting.

This is also all acrylic, but I had fun with it. I really can't remember how I got the base texture for this, but I used something. Anyway, the first layer is a combination of grey, white, black, and I think a brown. When that dried I used painter's tape to make straight lines and mixed a combination of brick reds and browns, and painted the rectangles. Then when that dried, I got a couple of leaves and dipped them in paint and stamped them onto the page.

I'm pretty sure this is also just acrylic. Nothing really elaborate about it, just did the background first, then painted the butterfly.

This is acrylic and metallic sharpies. This is the flag of South Africa, because my mom was born there, and I just had fun doing patterns on it.

This is crumpled up painter's tape to make the texture, then I used a paint brush to dab the acrylic on it. No strokes, just dabbing.

This is a water color background with marker details. Took forever to make, but I like the way it looks.

This was originally going to be colored pencil, but I quickly remembered that I don't like colored pencil, so I outline it with string, painted over it, and used a silver sharpie to outline the callow lilies and the moon. This is one of my favorites!

This one is an acrylic background, with sharpie outline, acrylic  rope, and acrylic flowers. I enjoyed painting the flowers the most, but drawing the anchor was fun too.

This is my absolute favorite painting from my summer homework. The background is water color, and I love the fade of those colors, then I used acrylic paint for the tress, I dry brushed the details onto the trees which looks so great, and even though I think it would have looked better without the leaves at the bottom, I still love it.

So this was crayon first, then I added a layer of black acrylic paint, and then I scratched it off with a pencil I think, I don't actually remember. But it was a lot of fun, I actually learned how to do this in 6th or 7th grade.

This was in honor of my brother, who's favorite animal is a fox. I had a lot of fun with this one, the fox is graphite and the background is water color. I love the boxes.
