So for this class, Visual Essay, we have to do three final pieces that visually describe an event/place. I chose Liberty Stables, a place I ride out in the finger lakes in upstate New York. I had all these lovely ideas, but when I went in early one sunday morning for reference, I liked my ref way better than my original thoughts.
Today I did some quick messy watercolour colour studies.
We had a warm spell where all the snow melted... so all the horses are just coated in mud. We had to get as much of it off as we could.
Pirate, my first fav horse there. With some colourful curry brushes in the back.
Whiskey's tail being groomed by one of the guys. I rode Whiskey later and that dang girl almost killed me. I somehow held on from being bucked/reared/sidestepped all over the whole ride. The other riders said I should be a rodeo girl. I love riding but not like that.
She's a new horse and doesn't get along well with others- they don't let students ride her.
really fast last minute one of pirate staring at me confusedly with the colourful brushes/leadropes in the foreground. If i do a final of this one it'll obviously be better haha
Trying to decide which three. If you have advice/opinions let's hear it!
some progress on the second piece in my visual essay series. Currently like it better than the first. But I totes screwed up the first one by pushing myself yesterday. I will have both done tomorrow night. Acrylic on ill board.
And hey. Bastardizing the amazing McBess's style. Self portrait.
so i took a quick picture of this... Acrylic, 8x10, illustration board, about 2 or so hours in. I've really only been focusing on the face thus far...
Quick acrylic doodle for funsies.
For Bob Dorsey's visual essay class. This is one of the guys at the stable cleaning up Whiskey before I rode her. She's a newer horse, and not allowed to be ridden by students. She was really jumpy that day and nearly killed me, bucking/rearing/generally freaking out. 
pencil
making a mess
For Chad Grohman's book illustration class. Acrylic on illustration board.
For Reporter's issue this friday. This lady is suing RIT. She wouldn't agree to a photo. So i had to take super smiley reference of her and make a grumpy illustration.
in class doodles. i didn't have a pencil. i did have a sharpie.
i have been dreaming in concept art. So... helmets.
