Refreshing. A Little.

On the bright side of things, I completed one of my goals. I used up my largest canvas ( 12 x 16) with a gouache painting. I started to feel really bummed out this afternoon so I decided to clear off my desk and paint. So a few water dishes, a wooden paint palette and a couple sketches later I was down to business. It took me about 2 hours to complete and I'm actually very happy with how it turned out.

The painting is based off of a photo of my friend Keltie that I had taken during a photoshoot for school.

Here is the photo:




And here is the painting:




I'm not much of a painter, to be honest, so it's nothing mind blowingly spectacular. But I do like how it came out. :) I hope you guys enjoy it, as well.

Oh, and an update, I did this little painting on an 8 x 10 canvas for my friend Erikk. He loves Half Life. iT'S NOT EXACTLY DONE, BUT ALMOST. jUST GOTTA ERASE SOME PENCIL MARKS. Oh and take off caps locks, too. ;)
