Wall mural update

So I have been working on this thing a lot! Here's the progress I have made with it so far! I have finished the pastel circles, painted on a black border, and started the mandala!



Series part 3

So for my final part to the series I decided to do something different then originally planned. I wanted to do something that didn't involve a paintbrush or paint, wire, clay, etc. I wanted to use photography. I think photography is a beatiful form of art in which the artist is able to capture a moment and be able to cherish it forever in just one photo. As everyone knows, my cat is probably one of the most important things in my life and therefore I get the nickname of the crazy cat lady. So on a nice day I had gone outside with my handsome cat and had gotten some photos of him! Fortunately he was in a good mood so I was able to get photos that didn't look like they were forced! I decided the best place to take photos was in a place that made him the centre of attention and the main focus of the pictures. So with him being a black cat I decided on a place with lots of dandelions as the yellow made the black stand out lots. Here are some photos I captured! 

Isn't he just gorgeous?


Out of the photos above #4 & #5 have to be my absolute favourite.

Here are more photos with another colour to contract with his black fur.

Wall mural in the classroom

So being a senior graduating this year, I wanted to leave my mark on my favourite place in the high school - the art room. So with saying that, I get to paint almost a mural type thing on the wall! So for the past half week I marked off a rectangle, primed it (twice) and today I started my process. I really had no idea at all what I wanted to do so I got some colours ready and I started to mix a magenta with white to form a pink. Just from doing this and making a pastel pink and idea formed in my mind. I would sponge on the wall pastel colours in a sort of pattern and overtop do an intricate black design. Here's from today's work:
