Early Seascapes


Lighthouse. 2007. Charcoal on paper. 11" x 8.5".

When I sketched this, I was very proud of myself for achieving the shadows on the water and the correct proportions for the lighthouse. Looking back, though, I see how naive and unfinished it looks. However, it provided a good starting point for other landscapes.  



Second Beach. 2009. Watercolor and ink on paper. 20" x 8".

While this painting still lacks much depth and has very amature-ish foliage, I had improved on changing values and blending colors. It was inspired by Chinese scrolls and was supposed to show humans' insignificance compared to nature.
