I finished up the last week of the semester on Friday, feels nice to have a moment to breathe. I’ll be leaving my job soon to focus full time on school/portfolio building. I’ll be taking a summer course now that I’m working towards a degree. I’ll be taking Color and Design which is pretty much a learn how to paint class. You start with the basics of how to mix colors (and of course the whole what colors go together).

I took such a class at my previous college, but it didn’t transfer over. It’s one of the core classes for almost all the degrees here. I’m really excited at the prospect of taking it now though. I have a few years experience at the school and my drawing and (digital) painting skills have come quite a ways, I’m excited at applying all that to traditional paint.

Throughout the day today I painted out these quick thumbnail sketches. I probably spent around 10 mins on each one all using the Oil Pastel brush again.
