Featured Student for September

AustinShurtliff · 17 Aug 2020, 19:12

Heres another chance to get your work featured on the SVSLearn homepage! We have been having so many great submissions that it is really hard to just pick one. If you have posted in the past and not been selected PLEASE consider posting again if you were not chosen for a previous month (even if it is the same image as before). If you have any thoughts or suggestions about this opportunity please feel free to share them as a comment or to send me a message!

Instructions:
This post is a place to share work if you want to get a chance to be featured in the Student Art Gallery on the SVSLearn.com homepage for September. To be considered, share 1-2 of your best pieces (you can re-share an image you posted previously, but this is also a great opportunity to push yourself and add a new piece to your portfolio) on this forum post. Make sure to share your image by the last day of August to be considered. Also, make sure your images are at least 800 pixels on the shortest side and do not exceed 1mb in size. If your illustration includes text on it please post a copy with and without the text on it.
Work will be selected based off of how well the work uses the following:

Concept: how well does your illustration convey a clear concept/story. Is it a unique approach? Does it make me want to know more about what is happening in the illustration?

Technique: How is the composition working? Does it have good use of lighting, rendering, mark making, etc.? Does the technique compliment the concept?

If you are selected, we will be emailing you using the email indicated on your forum account. Besides your art being displayed on the homepage, you will also be sent some questions for a Q&A blog post that will be shared on the SVSLearn blog.

Good luck!
Austin

Well there's no reason not to try. These are small works but in the right direction for me. Lots of for everyone.

Sorry they seem to come out huge.

A couple of older paintings I did, but they are a couple of my personal favorite ones.

Throwing my hat in the ring for the first time!

@Gary-Wilkinson I just love the first one, colour and lighting and mood so spot on, I will look at it for hours.

Here is my input.

@Jonathon-B-Baker-0 These look like a lot of fun. I love the colors. There is only one question in my mind now... How did they get the bull up there?

Jonathon B Baker 0 · 21 Aug 2020, 14:12

@hakepe Haha, how did they get any of it up there ?! I made this for my wife when we were looking for a house. I wanted to paint something that was seemed completely impossible and possibly dangerous. This was the result.

@Jonathon-B-Baker-0 How do you get up to that ledge? (note it was already asked but did you really answer it)? lols I also really like the energy in the trees in the bottom one.

Hi guys! This is the first time I’ve entered. Good luck everyone!

Jonathon B Baker 0 · 21 Aug 2020, 15:27

@Heather-Boyd Nope, it is intentionally perplexing. Like I said it was meant to look impossible.

Mary Toth · 21 Aug 2020, 15:30

Here are my entries. Made them a while ago but I still like them so why not Hopefully will have some new ones to enter next month too!

Gary Wilkinson · 26 Aug 2020, 03:08

@Jonathon-B-Baker-0 thank you Jonathan. Loving your work too

Here are my entries. I have been really working to find a process for image making that I like. I am working to combine watercolor painting with a digital workflow.
