Painting for Illustrators 2010

All the paintings in this post are from my Junior Year class, Painting for Illustrators with Paul Olson, a very wonderful teacher! Most of these paintings were done in class with three hours to paint. This class definitely helped me with colors, it was my first real painting class too. But I believe I definitely improved as a painter by taking this class.
