Family Portrait

I not sure what exactly I am going to do with this assignment. I know I don't want it to be one of those studio looking portriats, althought it would be kind of fun to make it like those pretend western family portraits where they all have to dress up. I think I am going for a snap shot looking photo of just everyday life, where not everyone is necessarily smiling and the background doesn't have to be so picturesque.

Summer art process

Here is a summer project where I took pictures of it at different stages.

At first I thought I would just make a drawing out of charcoal, but then I ended up drawing oil pastel over it instead. I mainly used red, purple and orange.
