Landscape painting

Pick my subject

Draw the pond

• In this work, my goal is draw the tree sprout of a three row upon row upon the tree background.
• I accomplished this work by laying the background first, and draw several sprouts by different dimension.
• My goal is showing the row upon row relationship between the sprout growing out of the ground.
• The most difficult part is drawing the details of the plants.
• I faced the challenge by building the light and dark regions of the plants.
• The row upon row is the effect I want.
• In next painting, I REALLY WANT TO incorporate more details about things.
• Holy's drawing is really fantastic because the good color using.
• If I can, I would like to redo the plants.
• I feel best about the stem of the sprout, the gradual color change.

Paint it black

• In this artwork, my goal is paint the black and silver irons. The background is the yellow paper.
• I accomplished the work by draw the outline first, and then paint the base color of the object. Finally, I add the light regions on the black and silver region.
• My goal is showing the light value of black objects and silver objects.
• The most difficult part is expressing the light value of the dark.
• I faced the challenge by labeling the combined black color the express the dark value. 
• The shiny characteristics are the value I want.
• In my next painting, I want to improve the value on the dark region of my painting.
Heather's painting looks very good because it shows three-dimensional shape.
If I can, I will redo the silver regions to make it better

I feel best about the some regions of my painting.

3 Shiny Objects

• In this artwork, my goal is to paint 3 shiny objects by using oil. The top is an airplane toll, and the bottom is an screwdriver.
• I accomplished the work by draw the outline first, and then paint the base color of the object. Finally, I add color to express the values.
• My goal is about showing shiny characteristics with different color, especially darker ones.
• The most difficult part is showing objects without outline.
• I meet the challenge by revising several times and adding darker color the regions to express the value.
• The shiny characteristics of by objects are extremely good.
• In next painting, I want to improve the shape and express value more distinctively and brightly.
• Heather's painting looks very good because it shows three-dimensional shape.
• If I can, I will redo the paper clip in the middle.
• I feel best about the value I expressed.

25 Stroke

• In this artwork, I goal is to paint the ball with shadow by using 25 stroke, and I end up using 20 strokes.
• I accomplished this work by sketching the shape first, and then use stroke to add color to it to express different values. 
• My paint is about using shape and color to express the shape of the ball under light condition within 25 strokes.
• The most difficult challenge is keeping the number of stroke low while considering about the color combination.
• I meet the challenge by trying to keep brush on the canvas and pickup a lot of color each time.
• The color choice of my painting is really appealing!
• In next painting, I want to improve the detail to make it more elegant.
• Lauren's painting is very good because gradual change of color indicate the light source. 
• If I can, I will redo the edge of the ball and made a more dimensional shadow!
• I feel best about the color I used, which looks very lovely.

Touching no edge

• In this artwork, my goal is to paint the ball with shadow without touching edge: using different color to show different shadow and different dimension.
• I accomplished this artwork by sketching the shape of the ball and shadow first, and then I used different colors to draw light, dark, and medium shadows. I left red line between each shadows to emphasize the difference.
• My paint is about using colors to express the shape and dimension.
• The most difficult challenge is keeping red line between each shadows, and making the shadow looks real.
• I meet the challenge by using pencils to map out red line and modifying the shape and build up from before.
• The overexposed region of right side looks very special, and I like the appearance of that region.
• In next painting, I will try to make the red line more clear and obvious.
• Genna's painting is appealing to me because the gradual change of color indicate the light source. 
• If I can, I will redo the shadow of the ball, and making the red line more clear!
• I feel best about the color chose of this painting.

Snow shadow

Painting with Peggi

• I learned how the other artists examine and gaze at the an object to paint. They break down different dimension into different color block because different dimensions have different color reflections. They teach us how to show our color.
• I learned the impressionism and abstract art from Kroll's work. By looking at the shape and color of the painting, one can figure out what the drawing is about abstractly. Also, the value expressed in color reflection and be understand.
• Mapping means the construction and lay out the colors, which plans where to put which color.
• I know that the value, shape, and shadow are expressed by color contracting of different block, which shows the dimension and 3-D shape by imagination.
• Mr. Gaudreau try to let us understand blending of color: almost all color are not pure color but the results of blending the color system. Blending creates fascinating colors that are not expressed by simple color. Also, darker color contribute to the shadow and lighter color contribute to reflection, depends on how many dark color added.
• Artistic ideas: start from shape and value instead of detail and smaller detail. You can always change your drawing afterwards. Color is the result of bleeding. Paintbrush always need to use the same size.
• Drawing faster maybe easily get the big idea and shape about the drawing, and working fast can give raise to inspiration some time. 
• The lines are used to build up the shape of the object. The color is used to show 3-D dimension on the 2-D paper. The space is not shown, and all the space will ultimately be filled. The texture can be created by the way of using print brush. The value is created by blending color to express the setting.
• Painterly means the right quality of color, texture, and stroke rather than line. Proper color, texture, and stroke express the value which artist what to have.
• I want to use color blending more effectively to show the value. And learn how to create color block by looking at real object in real life, abstracting into painting.
