Sphere

I drew this piece of art because it made me feel relaxed and at times I feel like shading. Shading is also a skill that I would like to improve on.

Up above, we did different experiments with the watercolors, and to the right, we made monochromatic, analogous, and complementary colors.

Experimenting with watercolor!

I then added eyes, noses, and mouthes to the monsters that I created and did my best to make each one look unique.

The Monster Blob Project

We are starting in a project where we paint blobs with water color paint and draw it like monsters. We had to make our imagination run wild as if we were little kids again.

And this is what my final product is of this project looks like!!!

I added some more deeper colors to make the feather stand out from the paper, and I also added some light pen work to make it stand out. I decided to add some spritzes of blue so that the feather wont just be surrounded by the whiteness of the paper. (Painting to the right)

We are working on painting objects and trying to be not too perfect but not too sloppy at the same time. (painting to the left)

Nature Design Project

Skeleton Drawing With Charcoal

This drawing experience has been new for me, and it tested my level of skill for cutting open a difference between dark and light. It also tested my blending skills to be able to make a subtle change between the dark and light parts of the skeleton.

Oil Pastel Drawing

This oil pastel drawing project has been a very fun experience for me and I was able to experiment with oil pastels, which I don't use very often. This project tested creativity and photography. Oil pastels weren't in my comfort zone before this project, so I struggled to use them at first. After I realized that I could mix many colors to imitate another color, and that I could mix colors, mess up, and fix it. I realized that I could experiment with many different colors to make different tones of colors. Taking the picture of the plant, corn, pumpkins, and squash tested my photography because setting those objects up took up a lot o time to get it just right. To set it up without making the whole scene look like too much is going on that is. This has been a life changing experience for me and now I'm more confident about using different colors to make other colors or tones.

Longing to go Outside

I painted this painting with watercolor while quarantining during this pandemic. I Painted this because I feel like I'm trapped inside the house and can't go anywhere at all. Since it has been a while since I left my house's property, I felt that I would draw a gloomy and sad inside, and a bright optimistic outside. At times like this it's hard to stay too optimistic since the world around us is slowly getting consumed by a deadly virus.

Origami Art

I painted a box of Origami flowers using watercolor. I thought that it would be cool to not put in too much detail into the painting, but also to make it look somewhat vibrant.

Duct Tape Painting

This is a water color painting with duct tape on it with an acrylic painting. The blank white splotches are white oil pastel, since oil repels water. I painted a messy water color canvas and put a slightly more detailed, night time scene on the duct tape.

I painted on pieces of duct tape using some acrylic paint. I thought that it would be unique to try out something different rather than sticking to working with watercolor and paper. I first thought of a sunset and mountains, so I painted things very simple and added new things as I went along. As I finished, it looked like a mini world in there. I decided to make a few more, so I created the Winter, Autumn, Spring, and wave paintings. They look so simple yet they seem to have a lot of energy and life within them. I also did another painting with watercolor and duct tape. I painted a somewhat messy background with mountains and trees during the day time. I put two long pieces of duct tape in the center and draw the night time version of the daylight version of the landscape. To me, this was such a new idea and experience compared to everything else I’ve drawn/ painted.
