Favorite Mixed Media

 

 

I've been doing some digital art for pattern design. This is an example.

 

 

I use acrylics on board for my main medium. Here are some examples.

I've chosen some of my favorite pieces of art to display and share.

The mountain lion is water color paint.



Always enjoyed doing art of all kinds using animals as the subject.
Here is a koala bear I really like. It was done
with acrylic paint.



The illustration of a wooded trail is water color paint.
I took some photos of the walking trails near my home at the
time and tried to convey the beauty of the woods.



The sunset here is another favorite because of the colors
and its simplicity. It's done with water color paint on
wall board.



The old library building was right around the corner from where I lived
about 20 years ago. I took some photos for reference and did this
ink wash with pen illustration for a Mohawk College project. Its design is wonderful and I've always liked the brick color and large windows. Now it's used as University building.



The painting of the mountain is done on stretched canvas. I framed
and stretched it, then applied the gesso.
It's my first attempt at using oil paint and was a little
frustrated with having to mix the colors and get the thickness
of the paint just right.



The Dream Garden is done with acrylic paint.




Apple for Tessa was done with acrylic paint on wall board.

Digital Art Design Projects

A product label for soap.

A banner advertisement for hair salon.

A product tag. Digital art done in Illustrator.



This is my painted design for a promo paper airplane.
It had to fly when folded up into a plane as described
using written instructions. Mine was very successful
and flew far. I used gouache paint for this one. I'm so
happy the way all the colors look.



This is one of my digital designs for a Christmas card. I
used my Wacom Tablet in Illustrator for the entire project.



I also did this greeting card digitally to send out to friends. It was done
using Photoshop.



This design was a project for a grocery store department sign. It is done with color pencils.




A tent card design I did for the school cafeteria. We could choose any
food sold there and illustrate it with a chosen media. I did this with
acrylic paints.



These are two examples of wine label design. The Fat Bird design was
an example of how to recreate a real label in exactly the same colors,
size and graphics style. The one on the left is the original. The one on
the right is my design. It was done entirely in CorelDraw.
