hello there,

You can call this a modern day scrapbook/portfolio of my work: collections of paintings, sketches, doodles, photography and perhaps some film (when i have time). This will be another creative outlet aside from writing (http://gabdez.blogspot.ca/). This blog will also act as a form of motivation to develop my art and to view my progress later on.

just a close up to show the various colours i used and more detail i suppose
this was the final project. we were to combine 1-2 (or more) images together. i chose a photo of a latin american native girl from a natural geographic magazine and a photo of a lake from Costa Rica. it was really difficult making the girl look her age- at one point she looked like an angry old lady. it was also the difficult to get the proper skintone. i chose to keep the background a bit abstract because sometimes i forget what Costa Rica looks like- it becomes a blurr.

oh and for some reason the last photo came out really bright- the expossure is off but i have no time to tweak the photograph. you get the just of it.
