Paint Sticks

For my Paint Stick project I drove out to my stepdads workplace which is a golf course and drove around in a golf cart looking for areas I could use to do my landscape. Eventually I found a lake area that I thought was perfect and sat down and got to work, I really liked how blue the area was and how green it was at the same time so I thought it would make a great color scheme for my project.

For this project I used Paint Sticks which reminded me of oil pastels but they were a bit more difficult to work with. There wasn't to many colors to work with and if the sticks were dry it was ten times harder to smooth it out or to add layers, but after one failed attempt I finally got a piece of art they I liked!

For this project I practice a lot with blending and trying to create figures like trees without them looking really smudgy and like a little kid did my project. I found it to be really difficult, but eventually after practicing a couple of times I finally got the hang out of it and liked how my project came out.
