Here are 2 samples I have done recently:

A Caiman (related to the alligator). This is in Gouache (like an opaque watercolor)

And an Eastern Box Turtle. I used to find these in the woods behind my house. This is done in washes of acrylic with colored pencil over it.

What I’m doing now…

Here are some preliminary sketches I am working on for my final dinosaur project of the semester. In these, I am working out the muscular reconstruction of 2 sauropods: the Diplodocus and the Camarasaurus. I have to work with these before I start my final painting to decide what the dinosaurs will look like. This has been about a 2 week process, along with making clay models, etc.

More Paintings

Here is a lion done in acrylic. I got his photo on my zoo trip.

Here are some various lichens and moss growing on a stick done in guoache. I foraged through the forest to find it. This was a very tricky and time-consuming piece. There was just so much going on in such a little tiny area.

Edmontosaurus

This is an Edmonotsaurus- a type of “duck-billed” dinosaur. Its done in acrylic. I’m so tired thats all I have to say about it. This wore me out. =)
