The Amour Leopard

The Amour Leopard - there are less then 50 left in the wild and only 200 in captivity, and because of this  it is one of the worlds most endangered animals. I saw this beautiful animal for the first time when I was 10 in Edinburgh zoo and was so struck when I read the sign that said how many where left that I cried.This is one of the first experiences I had with this conservation and now I plan to make it my job, after school.

I hope that by sharing this you not only understand where some of my paintings come from. Also I hope it makes you, at least a little, think about what you can do. thank you.

Progression

  This is a still life I did last year. It is a water colour and it was A3.

I think that this year My work has progressed more then any other year. Because of this blog I have had to put up work that is a high standard and worth writing a bit about. so this is really just a small post to show that if you work anything can happen. Recently I have done a lot more work so I will be uploading a lot more over the next few weeks.  Eleanor X

      

Selfie?!

This is my school art project final. it is acrylic that is layered up to give texture and form. During this project I was looking at scale of the face and hands.

I found this a real interesting project to work on at I have never done a self portrait before, much less in paint. it was a kind of jersey of discovery, the techniques I was working on was with the paint i think are something i can use in many different types of paintings and even drawings.

Daisy

I have a new cousin! She is called Daisy and i sent this card to her when she was born. it is done in a mix of acrylic and water coulee washes. this gives the background the colour and the over all texture of the painting its look.

In the shadows

There is a nostalgic calm quality about summer sunlight in the afternoon. these are two photos that I took last summer that when I was looking at I thought sort of showed this in a way and I liked the mood they create. i will hopefully be taking more photos as I am taking a corse at school next year.

A walk in the woods

The woods around my house are beautiful, but in the winter the light is more mellow and calm. I like to walk in there as i find it a good place to think and get inspiration. these are just some pictures that i took on some of my more resent walks. Eleanor X
