Charcoal Study

This was a charcoal study of items around my house. The back ground is the blinds in the room. 

Oriental Brush Painting- Butterflies in Nature

This was made in a class study of butterflies. In this piece I was trying to capture the delicateness and movement of the butterflies. I learned from a Chinese teacher techniques and styles of water color painting past down through generations. I loved this class so much. We did light yoga before each class and hand exercises. We also had to sit up straight and have the paint brush with a pointed tip.  The teacher was very serious about the class knowing Chinese History.
