Liberal Arts- Final

The assignment was to pick an illustrator, in my case, Norman Rockwell, pic a decade to which that illustrator was at his peak, choose a subject matter and compose an illustration relevant to the chosen decade, and paint in the artist's style.

I have not done any traditional paintings in about five years, and working on such a small format (5x7in) was an added challenge--becuase...it aint easy whamming a whole lot of detail in on such a tiny workspace. I was late in doing it. In fact, I havn't slept in two days x_x. I say it took me about 6-7 hrs to complete this illustration. The problems I had is getting used to painting in acrylics, and working without any photo references. I was also short on supplies, so there were no drafts.

All in all it turned out well. The assignment was actually due today, but I found out during class that the date to turn in our finals changed to next week x_x...I'm releaved I got my work done ahead of time, but a little annoyed that I missed out on sleep.
