Week of 12/7-12/11 Journal

This is a picture I took at Golden Gate Park. They have the most beautiful botanic gardens and it was just an amazing place to hang out.

Week of 11/30-12/4 Journal

This is a picture I took at the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, CA. It is a crazy place to visit. The picture was taken looking out a window, it is very clear and you are able to see the outside very well.
This is another picture I took. It had an isolated, lonely feeling to it with all the white space in the picture.

This is a sketch I did practicing 2 point perspective. I don't know what I did when I was drawing the couch but it came out kind of strange, I guess that's something I will have to work on!

Week of 11/23-11/27 Journal

This is a picture I took using a different angle. I thought the angle gave it an interesting abstract look.
This is a picture I took. I was inspired because it has several different textures to it. It reminded me of a japanese rock garden.

This is a piece I did using watercolor pencils and paints. I really like the watercolor pencils because they give you the control of a pencil and you can just take a brush with water to it and it gives it a whole new effect.
