These are projects that, for various reasons, I never finished and probably never will. Some of them are interesting in their own right, in their half-finished state, so I thought I'd share:
|
Liquid India ink. This picture was drawn completely without reference photos, so it was a real stretch for me to attempt. Somewhere along the way I lost where the picture was going and thus abandoned it. |
|
Acrylic paint. This picture was an old one I started a long time ago. It was done on the wrong kind of paper for paint, which is why I ultimately never finished it. That, and shading cobblestone is nightmarish. |
|
Large acrylic painting on canvas. This painting really made me sad to stop working on. It was based off of a picture I took of the old fire lookout at High Rock, Washington, but I decided to paint it as a night scene. I got this far before I realized night skies are actually gray and the ground silhouetted, not the other way around, at which point I lost steam. I'll do another large painting someday. |
|
Liquid India ink. This airplane was part of a larger drawing I made. It got cut off because (yet again) I realized partway through finishing a drawing that my perspective was off. To finish, thus demotivated, I had to cut out the more interesting part. Sometimes that's just the way it happens. |

This is not an "unfinished project" per se, but rather the result of many projects. Every time I draw with ink or watercolor I need a test sheet to check the darkness and color of the medium on my brush. This sheet was the result of years worth of testing, and turned out beautifully in its own right. |
