Koala-Inspired by Aboriginal Art Style

Today I was thinking again of playful koalas. This one was done in a somewhat Aboriginal style with a “Sharyn twist”.

“Joycita”, the 3D Puffin (Papier Mache) over 9″ by 12″ Rough Paper (Gouache and Watercolor)

This project took 2 art classes to complete. The little puffin is made out of papier mache with a technique introduced to me by Joyce, my art teacher. So I named this puffin “Joycita” (with her permission!). She was then pasted onto a background made with gouache and watercolor paints.

Portuguese Man-of-War (Impressionistic Style)

I know that these man-of-wars sting but they are really beautiful especially with the reflection of the water and the sky. This painting was made with pencil, glitter, watercolor and gouache paints.
