Progress with color techniques- the Queen Califia session

August 26, 2010 by sketchbloom

From yesterday’s Rendering and Delineation Class. So proud of my color-wary students.

Queen Califia Session

Quen Califia Session II

Queen Califia III

Read the story of the mythical Queen Califia.
California is named after her!

See Niki St. Phalle Sculptural Garden ‘ Queen Califia’s Magical Garden’ in Kit Carson Park, Escondido, California.
