Watercolor Reflection 1/27/12
1. The strong part of my paintings was the good detail I went into on them because the bark of the palm tree had leaves in it.
2. To do better on this project i could have added words to the pictures to tell a story because it was all single pictures.
3. My paintings were similaiar because I used dark simple colors.
4. I tried to uses all different colors. I used mostly warm colors. My background on 2 of them were cool. The other was a warm camoflauge background. Because it matched the theme of the object i was painting.
5. Watercolor painting is an easy style of painting. I allows the artist to blend the colors easily because they are thin paints. It is fun to paint with. I like it becasue it is simple to paint with and you can fix your mistakes easier.
6. I learned during this project that you need to draw your painting first and then paint it. It turnes out alot better. I also learned that you need to take your time and do thin layers of paint at a time. In life watercolor painting teahes you to clean stuff up when you are finished or it could get wrecked.
7. I created all of my painting about places i have been and where i want to go. All the painting came out the way I wanted them to. I added more color so that there wasnt as much white in the background.
8. I will take my time on the painting so none of the paint smudges or bleads together so they turn out the way i want them to. i can thin out the paint with water to make it spread and blend more. Tape down the paper because it like to curl after it gets wet.

Monochromatic Emotion Painting with Tempera 2/24/12
1. The strong part of my painting is the face because it has good detail.
2. To do better i could have made it look real and 3D beacuse it is flat and simple.
3. I created the mixed emotion of happiness and anger and i did it by a happy face with pitchforks. I picked it because that is how my life is.
4. The mane hue is red. I choose it because it can show anger by making flames.
5. I created different shades of pink for the mouth for happiness and the tints for the eyes to show anger. I did black as a background to show emptiness.
6. I learned how to mix different paints so i can create any color i want on a future project.
7. My painting was planned. It turned out worse than i wanted because i wasnt able to add as much detail as i wanted.
8. Yes, it as a fun project to do. To make it better you could paint in on canvas instead of cardboard.

Oil Painting April 3rd 2012
1. The good parts of the painting is my background. It is colorfull and in detail.
2. I could have added more detail to the field. The grass doesnt look very good.
3. I created a sports theme. I did so by making a football field and some fireworks after they won the game. I choose the theme because football is my favorite sport.
4. The football field stands out the most. To make them stand out i added a large area of bold green so it would be the center off attention.
5. The football field is in percpective so first you see the field, then the goal post, and then the fireworks.
6. I learned that oil is very messy and if you go over the edge to fast it shoots all over.
7. My painting was planned. I added the fire works instead of football players. It didnt turn out the way i wanted it to but it still looked good. Not as much detail.
8. Yes it was a fun project. And in the future have a easier way to clean the trays and brushes.
