So, we did a baseline painting in class. We had to pick a card for the painting. My process was simple: I used blue to create an ocean-type of waterscape, then, after that, I used black to make the birds in the sky, followed by the sun and the gray clouds, and for those, I used yellow and gray. I think it was a good start to the painting year.
Ryan Paulsen "Spook Pumpkin"
2025
I wanted to do this painting because it was October, and I wanted to do something for Halloween. So, essentially, what I did was paint the canvas completely black, then I traced the pumpkin on the back canvas, after I painted it orange, and then traced with white. It was pretty simple and easy, first painting I'm happy with it.
So I picked Fall scenery for my second painting, and it was a challenge for me because it needed a lot more detail in this painting than the last. This Painting, for me, was definitely overwhelming at first, but once I got the background colors done, it went smoothly. After I did that, all I needed to do was touch up the water and dot up the trees. It was still a hard painting, and there are still things that I need to do, but so far it's shaping up well
I picked a winter scenery for my third painting
