Student work from Spring 2007 semester

Katrina Kelly, Self-Portrait, about 16x20", colored pencil (glazing technique)

Project: Intro to colored pencils...students were asked to do a self-portrait (no mug shot self portraits, please!) They created a monochromatic underdrawing in sepia or gray, then glazed over it using a limited palette. Yes, they were allowed to use reference photos.
Why it's on the blog: Very well done, especially for a first exploration into colored pencils. I like the emotion and the double portrait with her dog---fun idea.
