The Deer
My inspiration for this piece was to show nature because I like the outside and I wanted to try something different. Plus painting this deer dared be to be different. The process for this piece included first me searching for animals I thought would challenge me a little more and I mapped out a elaborate sketch. Then what I did was write my colors I mixed the day before that way I could get the smae green and brown everytime an I started to paint.
Freedom
My inspiration for this piece came from my uncle who had recently been released from jail. Therefore I decided to draw something that symbolized his freedom from jail. The process included first lightly sketching the hand cuffs and then I carefully colored my background black. As well I blended in grey with white and showed some values. Finally painting my white dives onto the paper.
Reflection of flowers
My inspiration for piece was simply expressioning a cool casual feeling when the viewer saw it. Also I wanted to do this because I love using Oil pastel and I wanted to see if I could get into small places. Th process for this piece included me sketching lightly. Then I proceeded to color my background but making sure blend very well.
The Waterfall
My inspiration for this piece came from my childhood. Because this landscape actually came from the movie I used to watch when I was a kid called "The Lion King". So I decided to create a piece that actually came from the movie. My process included first sketching very lightly and then doing wash. Lastly adding any deatils I desired.

I wanted to impact veiwers of how women from all over go thru so much.

Self Destruction
My inspiration was to really get reveal how everyday we may see someone smiling but they could be crying on the inside. As well as thinking of suicidal thoughts and it's important we understand that because we as a people can inlfuence these critical thoughts and not eve be aware of it. The process included me doing a elaborate sketch to practice before hand. Also shading in everything where I desired it to be and decided where to position my sketch.
Discovery of a shell
My inspiration for this piece came from my mother because when I was a kid when we would go to the beach we had a little game and so she would tell me "go get the prettiest shell you can find". That inspired me to create something from those memories and create my piece. My process for this piece included sketching out the hand and the shell. Then I proceeded to take the ink and make my lines cross.
