         Hello, my name is Katrina Kessler and I'm a junior in Mrs. Shield's 6th and 7th bell DMA class. I've never been that into in tattoos, but watercolor ones always peak my interests. The way the artist can manage to give the illusion of wet media on a person's skin amazes me and I don't get how they do it. Watercolor tattoos often have a black image or geometric shape of some sort to bring out the work as a whole and to make it pop, also creating contrast with the solid, dark lines and the bright, watercolor strokes.

  1. I like how it has incredible detail but still looks like its flowing throughout her arm.

  2. Like you, I'm not really big on tattoos, but one's like these make me want one. The difference between the structured black ink and the water color makes it that much more interesting to look at, and when I first saw one, I was almost confused.

  3. I really like the colors in this. A lot of tattoos out there are just plain black.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
