My First Oil Painting



I'm not quite done, but I'm pretty proud of how it's going so far. Oils are so forgiving, easy to mix, and smooth. They're like buttercream frosting. I LOVE THEM!

This semester I'm getting to try so many new things.

In my wet medium illustration class, I designed a wine label using acrylic paint and Illustrator.
In my package design class, I've designed deodorant labels as well as bar soap packaging for my mom's homemade soaps.
In my layout class, I designed a series of print and web advertisements.
And I'm currently working on a wedding invitation design, a trifold brochure and poster to promote a trip to visit Pixar Animation Studios, and packaging for Gryfindor apparel.

I'm a busy, happy girl.
