Two Weeks

Studio Drawing [Sign Pen]

Life Drawing [Willow Charcoal]

Throughout the past two weeks, many of us have experimented with different mediums that we we're not familiar/comfortable with. During the two weeks many of us students have gained some form of 'confidence' using these 'new' mediums. I myself feel as though I have progressed in some way or form. Above are just the few pieces that I have accomplished during this short period of time.

Boy In Static

Oil & Graphite on wood panel. 8'x6'

Kawaski's work holds manga inspired influences and portrays an Art Nouveau-like-atmosphere.

Her figures have commonly been described as seductive and attractive, but can often be depicted as disturbing and cynical.

Kawaski uses the natural grain of the wood panels she paints on to give her work a sense of atmosphere and to giver her work a sense of 'warmth' to contrast with the 'cold' appeal of her figures. 

Personally, it's quite enjoyable to gaze at her work. Kawaski's paintings influence a conflict of emotions. It's intriguing and rather desirable.
