Paint
This semester in paint I've learned a lot from each project. 1. In the water color painting I learned the values or layering and the point of less being more. for my piece I made a recreation of a vacation photo of my aunt facing the water at the beach. With water color the more water you add the lighter the color and the less is darker. I struggled to find a balance between light and dark to create my waves. Though I am satisfied with the outcome. 2. The Hundertwasser painting was most likely my favorite. In this piece I used acrylic paint to turn an existing photo into something else. For this piece I chose a clearance that consisted of trees and a lake as my starting. With this project I felt my biggest difficulty was using my creativity to find a way to transform the photo while still making it recognizable. 3. The landscape project taught me the point of a pallet knife and how important texture was. For this piece I used a photo of a highway In New York during the fall. I changed up some of the original colors to make the textures stand out. Though I felt that because I used the pallet knife with the oil paint I was able to create the texture without color change. By this I mean that the pallet knife alone was able to create enough texture without me having to manipulate the color. It wasn't my favorite piece but I did learn much from it. 4. Lastly was the pet portrait where I used oil paint, layering, and color gradient to help create my piece. For this project I made a recreation of my dog that I call puppy. I started with the darker colors and worked my way up with the lighter ones on top. It was difficult because oil paint takes a while to dry and I'd often need the bottom layer of paint to be dry before I could add another layer. This is so they wouldn't mix. Though overall I felt that this was my favorite and more fun project to make. All and all I've learned the importance of gradient, color, texture, layering, strokes, tools other than a paintbrush and most importantly the difference between paints.
