Painting

Tonkatsu - Acrylic on mixed media paper 9x11 I used contour lines in outlining some of the food (need to finish small details on some items and the bowl/yellow lines) as well as a few hatching/cross-hatching lines in the seaweed bits by the chopsticks. Spilled Miso - Acrylic and Ink on mixed media paper 9x11 For this piece I chose to use weighted lines, to show off the heaviness towards the bottom of the bowl and spilled contents. I also decided to use a geometric 90's print pattern in the background for another use of line. I wanted to use a sort of red monochromatic color scheme, showing different shades of red or pink, and the brown of the bowl I thought complimented that very well.

Mandala - acrylic on poster board 10x12 My halfway point in the project. I chose the complementary color scheme of blue and orange since I wanted the piece to have a nice warm pop from the orange tones and a cooling essence from the blue. My first progress picture of my mandala. I wanted a more intricate design than what the final piece came out to be. I was inspired by the fabric designs of different cultures.
