Writing 4(blog posts)for Crit 3

In the past critiques I have received positive feedback from portraits that I have inked. So I have decided to work back in that direction that I enjoy. As of now, I am working to complete a series of portraits using mixed media. I have created a family tree by using graphite and watercolor on bristol. I intend the series as a whole to resemble myself through my style and use of color. I'm working with the idea that family like a tree will branch in many directions but the roots remain the same.

Aside from my work, I choose to take a look at  Jacqueline Denton's recent work. While her style always remains consistent, you can see the progression she has made through the recommendations of critique class. I enjoy Jacque's work and admire the cohesive vibe each piece brings. I can't wait to see what she has planned next! http://jacquelinedenton.com/

Welcome!

Welcome to Lauren Downing's Art Blog. I am currently a student at Pittsburg State University. My major is Commercial Art and my minor is Graphic Design. Before Pitt State I attended Kansas City, Kansas Community College and took a semester at Kansas University. This is my first semester enrolled in Commercial Art course and I hope to gain a better understanding of which direction I want to go. I have mostly taken drawing classes and feel that that is where I am the strongest. Charcoal is my favorite medium and I enjoy drawing from a realistic point of view. This semester I hope to expand my knowledge and venture into new areas in order to progress as an artist. Lauren A.Downing
