Featured Student for February

Laura Mcmillan

I've been messing around with illustrating haiku's that I have written. I am very much trying to improve my drawing and painting, solidify my style and make a portfolio. So all the things!

@Laura-Mcmillan I LOVE haiku--this is so cool! This is one of my favorite books:
Wind in the Long Grass: A Collection of Haiku https://www.amazon.com/dp/0671679783/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_KNnkEbJXCFFMC

Gotta submit my “Ah-Will-Cado”! Get it?

love the title I can't remember when/where I saw this, but remember thinking it's a perfect Valentine card! ️

@Jenna-Jenks I'm partial to your pup ️

@BichonBistro It is very fun to write them! I’ll check out the book. Thanks!

Well, not really an example of an illustration but I was greatly helped by many SVS classes in my painting of this work:

@chrisaakins This is beautiful Chris! To me it is an illustration because I want to know where she is going, is she alone, why is she going there, why does she look sad and somewhat apprehensive?

@BichonBistro Aw thanks! YOu have always been so kind and thoughtful in your remarks!
