watercolor class project: Million Man March


Back in school, I had a chance to take a watercolor class with Mr Raynolds. (I added a link to his site on the left.) He was a good teacher, and I really enjoyed his class. This was one of the project from that class. I believe it was a image from million man march which was on Newsweek magazine. I was so fascinated by this man's powerful expression, and decided to use it for the class project. (Please don't sue me for copyright issue. It was for the class!) I was so into this zen mode painting, which I forgot the time and kept painting until dawn. I had 4 other design classes, which were killing me with their due days. But guess what? I spent most of the time painting this watercolor.

On the finals week, I was nearly up for 3 days, and got too tired to mat this picture for the final review. I lost my caution and guess what? I sliced the left lower part in half with my mat board.
I cried a bit, and decided not to turn in for the school show. So this is my first time showing to public.....
