Negative and Positive

Erasure - Ink on mixed media paper 9x11
For this piece, I wanted to show the difference between negative and positive space with the ink. The positive space is everything that is filled with black ink, like the background, and his hair/clothes/facial features. Everything else that is white is the negative space.


Kunai - Watercolor, and Ink on recycled paper 4x6
This piece I wanted to show the difference between positive and negative space with color. The positive space would be the cloud with the watercolor inside of it and the negative space is the kunai knife itself being black and white, having a lack of color, as well as the background being blank.

Final Project

Sailor Pluto - acrylic on canvas - 16x20 Sailor Mercury - acrylic on canvas - 16x20 I wanted to make two pieces that went kind of reflected one another that also went well with past pieces I've done style wise and idea wise. I went with characters from Sailor Moon again, choosing Sailor Mercury and Sailor Pluto since they are some of my favorites. I wanted to do a more casual style with their appearances and use the same painting style I did with my noodle series. The way I chose my colors was for the background to be a lighter shade of the hair color, and for the print, in the background, it would reflect the color of the earring. For the clothes, I wanted to use a color that went well with the background and keep the design minimalistic. I wanted to keep it simple with a few small details. I do plan on going back and touching up the Pluto one, adding some finishing touches and probably adding more to this series.

Transformation Brooch - 9x12 - watercolor, acrylic, mixed media paper Crystal Star - 9x12 - watercolor, acrylic, mixed media paper Cosmo Heart - 9x12 - watercolor, acrylic, mixed media paper Crisis Heart - 9x12 - watercolor, acrylic, mixed media paper For this series of change, I decided to manipulate it by changing one part of the same piece four times. I wanted to show the transformation sequence from Sailor Moon, and change her brooch since it changes throughout the series. I started out by making the main piece, showing the central part of the transformation with all of the ribbon coming from the center. I then made the brooches on a separate paper with watercolor and acrylic and then cut them out, placing them on top of the same piece. The watercolor I used has a glitter shimmer in it which can be seen in some areas of the piece.

Different Types of Line (Continued)

Shoyu - Acrylic and Ink on mixed media paper 9x11 For this piece, I decided to use organic line and I did that by using a continuous line starting from the egg and working my way around the rest of the bowl. I chose to do a secondary color scheme or purple, green, and orange for the bowl and background as well as the chopsticks.  Cup Noodles - Acrylic and Ink on mixed media paper 9x11 For this last piece, I chose to go more minimalistic. The background is a geometric line grid and I kept it just black and white to be simple. For the cup of noodles itself, I chose to add some decorative line in it and also use a cool color scheme of blues and greens. I cut out the cup of noodles and set it on top of the background so if I choose to change the position, later on, I can, or put it on top of a different background.
