Sophia’s Art Gallery

My Artist Statement

My name is Sophia and this is some of my middle school artwork. I have always enjoyed fantasy so I chose a dragon as the main theme for my Oil Painting, gif, and some of my drawings. There is an “easter egg” in my painting*.

My Oil Painting Process

Process Pictures

My first steps for creating my oil painting were

cutting the wood and gluing the frame.

Next, I stapled the canvas to the frame

then put water on the back tighten the canvas.

After that, I started my Imprimatura.

The Imprimatura is like a sketch for a painting

but using burnt umber pigment and thinner.

When the Imprimatura was completed,

I started painting.

The Final Product

*The smallest planet is the Death Star. The lines in the Death Star were painted with a barrette.

My Artwork

I drew this when I was just doodling for fun.

It was fun the see it grow as I continued it

I drew this bunny because I found

it was cute being angry and chubby.

I drew this just for fun because

I liked the monsters expression.

I found a similar dragon online

when I was looking for ideas for my oil painting

and I decided to sketch this.

I drew this because I liked the how

cute the dinosaur looked.

This was the first sketch I did for

my oil painting. It was the original idea.

This was a dragon drawing that I sketched in 6^th grade.

After I sketched it I got the idea to do a dragon

for my Oil Painting in 8^th grade.

This is a watercolor painting I made of a ship.
