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.
