First Painting Finished

I finished my first painting for class this week I will get a posting up of it sometime this week as I am busy with school work. The assignment was to get a picture and use one set of complimentary colors. My colors were blue and orange. We were allowed to tint and share which means we were able to add white or black to our colors. At first I thought this was going to be difficult because I never painted much but I have always wanted to. I ran into a few dilemmas but I loved how I was making decisions from moment to moment and I experimented with my brush stokes, color, watered down acrylics vs. not using water with the acrylics, waiting for the paint to dry longer vs. not waiting too long before I started applying more paint. It was all a fun process.

Here is the image I took from a Time magazine.

This is the painting before I completed it. As soon as I can I will take a picture of the completed painting.


Have a great night everyone.

Fun Group Drawing Assignment

My drawing teacher gave us a fun and interesting drawing assignment. It was to be completed in class. She went around and gave each one of us a square. We were to draw what was on the square to scale on a much bigger paper. Some things you couldn't even tell what they were and others you could. We ended up doing two different ones and here are the results.

My drawing is the last one on the right at the bottom row. It is interesting to see how it all came together. This one is my favorite of the two.

This second one was more interesting. It did not fit well together as the other one did. We all wondered why it was. The first one was a painting and this one was a picture of two people a man and a woman from a magazine. We seemed to have a harder time on this one for some reason. My drawing on this one is on the second to bottom row the last drawing on the right(5th drawing from the left) if that makes more sense.

It was fun and even better to see everything come together to reveal the big picture which we did not know how it looked beforehand.
