So, we did a baseline painting in class. We had to pick a card for the painting. My process was simple: I used red and painted a toothbrush, and then I did shading. The painting meant a lot because it showed the skill level I was at with art.

So we got to pick 4 things to paint and I wanted to start with some sort of nature. So pretty much what I did was I mixed lots of colors and made the water first. Then moved on to the clouds. I did the trees with a black paint marker. Then did the orange background after that I went over the trees again. It means a lot to me because it's a painting of my favorite place to fish during the summer I took the photo to begin with. I struggled a lot with mixing the colors but after I did that I think I improved a lot and I will be ten times better for my next painting. I just love the way it looks It's my first piece of art that I think looks super good.
So I picked a bear for my second painting and it was a challenge for me because it needed a lot more details on this painting than the last. On top of that, I needed transfer paper and I needed to draw out my picture and that was a tad bit hard for me because I am not the best at drawing. But overall the process of the painting part went well all the lines from the drawing were kinda overwhelming at first but once I started painting everything went smoothly. I like my first painting better but still love this one it looks pretty good considering the fact I didn't have much help from anyone I was on my own I like the bear but not the background.
