Thought Process: I saw that there were a lot of horizontal lines. The line from the lake to the shrubbery, the shrubbery to the rocky hill face, and the mountain directly behind it. They each exhibited a different color. I’m not sure where the eye will start for this. I would imagine your eyes will …
Thought Process: I would expect the first place the eye would go would be the glowing red rock. The original cliff face is a fairly neutral color so the intense red colors were really making the scene pop. The calm waters reflected the cliff face like a mirror and as the eye travels downward, you’ll …
Thought Process: I saw the corners of the building radiating a deep red color when walking around downtown Denver during sunrise. The contrast between the deep red and the dark shadows popped and wanted to see if I can capture it. I also wanted to remove as much information from the sky as possible in …

Thought Process: With the pale yellow background, I figured I could use more saturated colors and make them stand out more. This portrait included a hand rolled up in a sleeve so making sure that the sleeve… looked like cloth and not like everything around it was kind of challenging. I think just drawing with …
Thought Process: I wanted to draw portraits again but digitally. I also was looking to see how well I can draw these portraits with just vertical lines.
