Macro Assignment

Okay, this is probably going to be just a quick post because it's a busy weekend for me... Graduating in 4 hours, going to Guatemala in less than 72... whee! I still had time for one more assignment before I left the country... This week's assignment was Macro, any medium, any size, any subject...just zoom in really really close. (sorry the photo is a little off with the color but I don't think it would fit in our scanner...)

I'm really happy with how it turned out. I got to use my inktense pencils again and really test them out. It was challenging to guess how the colors would interact with each other when I got around to using my water brushes because the pencil colors differ from the ink colors once they've been watered down. The image is a zoomed in look at a Lion-fish I photographed at the zoo a few weeks ago. I loved the colors and structure of the fin.

Fun assignment! Back to packing and getting dressed... whee!

Oh, shameless plug... keep track of my ventures in Guatemala at this blog... http://mcadguatemala2010.wordpress.com
