Book Pages

For one of our last project we had to decorate (basically paint over) four book pages. All of my pages were from The Shipping News by Annie Proulx a book filled with descriptions about water and this happening off the coast. For each page, I picked specific words I wanted to keep then painted over the rest.

 For this picture I used pastels to create the tree, attempting to give it texture. The colors are supposed to be gradual and interesting.

For this painting,I thought off the theme of water and went from there. Having gradual and clear paint gave the illusion of water and the jellyfish was fun to paint.

For this picture I was running out of time and ideas so it didn't turn out wry well. That's basically all I have to explain, it was supposed to be a blend of textures but it didn't really work. 

I love stormy weather (the song and the weather) so decided to paint it. using regular paint to show my love or this kind of weather. For this I just went with the theme of water, and let the music be my inspiration.
