acire2's portfolio part 6

this surfer is done in marker and bleach. the bleach takes away the marker. the model in the dress is the fabulous kater, wearing her own creation "pride" at a fashion show last year. kater's other stuff for that show was awesome too. her creations were available on the net, likely gone by now.

some mushroom thing by acire2 done at the summer institute. and tropical fruit in strong light and shadow. painting with a definite source of light is awesome.

acire2's portfolio part 4

the top one is a 48"x36" acrylic of chandelier crystals based on a close-up photo by her sister Madeleine. the second is a small 5"x7" acrylic acire2 does of pups - this one a purebred yellow lab with a mutated black ear - one of the PADS dogs. acire2 does these to save for art school so contact her at acire2@gmail.com. interestingly, this painting was basically rejected at portfolio day as competent, but not interesting enough. a pure-bred with a mutated ear not interesting?

some monotones - the drawing of the model is in conte and on large drawing newsprint (such an awesome drawing on such crappy paper!) and the next is pen and ink on paper and is about 30"x30". the model session was done at emily's summer institute for teens. the ink is a fantasy scene incorporating images from several sources including a mini dachshund.

ok, a couple more - the young lady sipping from the cup is the famous hannahv of hannahvmusic on youtube - soon to be featured here. The second is an exercise from emily carr's summer institute for teens and is painting and collage. that summer institute is highly recommended. These artworks are big and bold.
