This was Hayley's final project for her Drawing and Composition class, using a combination of techniques. The overall colors were created with watercolor pencils (thanks again, S). She received a 100% for her grade. Unfortunately, because of the new graduation requirements, she will not be able to take the Painting class during the second semester. She is failing Geometry, so the school dropped her Painting elective and scheduled her for Geometry Concepts instead.

The drawing started with Hayley tracing two photos she had taken of her boyfriend, Joe, who was not her boyfriend at the time (the photos she used are here and here). Then she added the art supplies and "gallery", as well as the quote. (I helped her figure out what to add and the layout, but she drew everything. I can't draw!) Hayley's art teacher photocopied her drawing onto watercolor paper, and Hayley then colored it in using the watercolor pencils. She went over it with a wet paintbrush, and...ta-da! Grade-A work.

She is giving it to Joe on Valentine's Day. (Do I hear someone go, "Awwww...."?)
