Head & Arm

In this piece I sketched a shape and then went back and erased through as well as smudged the graphite. I then went back and drew into the erased and smudged areas. It's a destructive technique.

Laser Eye

This was just a doodle I stuck in here. I used it as an example of what can be done as doodle - with just pencil.

Rock Glazing

In this demonstration I showed students how to glaze watercolor over stenciled shapes, splatters and drips. I discussed creating depth through this process.

Glazing Rock Shapes

These circular shapes were made from stencils that were sprayed by watercolor on a toothbrush. Then they were glazed with several layers of watercolor. Different colors were used for each layer.

Marblized Paper

Enamel paint is floated on top of water. Paper is placed on the surface of the water and then pulled up. Two or more colors are ideal for best results.
