I feel like I have gotten a lot better with using prisma colors. My favorite part about this piece would be the railings. I just love how they turned out and all the highlights and shadows I have on them. Drawing the bricks was very hard and time consuming. However I like the bricks at the top of the wall better than the ones used for the archway. I think the yellow walls turned out nicely too. There is a lot is still need to do to this piece like adding more shadows, drawing the space behind the brick walk way and adding to the color of the floor to mute the cool grey blue tone. Personally I feel like this piece is a step up from my last prisma piece, I just need to finish it. The bricks were a challenge, there were so many of the bricks and thy were very tiny and detailed oriented.

This is my ink monster. This was also my first time using ink.The process of using ink and a straw was a lot of fun to do. I enjoyed the hands om process of creating my monster and watching daily monster was very entertaining too. This activity was a fun way to bond with my men-tee while still being productive and learning new techniques.
Well this is my everyday object project. This was my fist time using oil paints and I really like them. I like oils a lot more than acrylics. I don't know why but they just feel better to use rather than acrylics. So I started this project by using a brush but I got impatient with the brush so I switched my technique to use a pallet knife. I really loathed drawing a painting the second cup. For some reason when I was drawing it I just couldn't draw it they way I wanted it to look and painting it was the same way. Then I forgot to draw the handle for the cup. I tried to mix up the color scheme from the original picture so I made the background blue but I didn't like how that looked so I went with the original color scheme in the end. I would probably change the granite. It is black in the picture but in my painting it was just too much black too fast and I feel like there is no depth or dimension in the piece. Maybe I'll go back and add some red to the granite like Mrs. Rossi said and maybe some lighter tones like white or maybe a light blue. i also want to add some darker shades of brown to the left side to add more depth because it doesn't look as good as it did in my garage at 11 O'clock on Thursday night. But overall for my first time using oil paints I feel like a did a pretty decent job and I want to use oils again for a future project. Next time I hope it will turn out better than this project and the next time I'll use brushes and see how it turns out that way. This was my first time using oil paints. I really enjoyed painting with them even though I had a hard time making shadows and the highlights were sorta hard to do too because the paints blend so easily. Although they do blend easily I do love working with the paints and how they feel to paint with. The class paints did not feel the best to use. They were goopy and hard to spread and paint with but the paints I ordered off of amazon were nothing like the class paints. They felt fluid and easy to work with. As of right now i enjoy using the oil paints so much more than acrylics. I just feel like the overall outcome is much better when using oils vs acrylics. And oils are so much faster to use so it doesn't take so long to do a painting I feel like.
This project was like my second time ever using prisma colors, and looking back on my first prismacolor drawing it makes me cringe. So i'm very pleased with how I have improved with prismacolors. On the first day of class I was very intimidated because 1. I thought I was taking art 3 not art 4/AP art and 2. I was sitting with Sarah, Tess, and Maddie and they are amazing artists. I now realize it's all ok because sitting with a group of girls like them can really push me to be my best and improve and they can help me along the way. I wouldn't say that i'm completely happy with my finished project because to me it's not finished. I do plan to go back through and fix some things like darkening the wood and really going back through with my browns and shadows. Another thing I plan on fixing is the background. I need to add more darks/shadows and highlights to it, to give the background some form. And probably I will go back and try and see what else I can do to the blue jar. Despite everything I want to fix, I am extremely happy with the jar containing the colored pencils. I love how the lid of the jar turned out and i'm very proud of it. I'm just extremely pleased with how that jar turned out and how the colored pencils turned out. It gives me this kind of hope that I can fix the rest of the drawing because I really rushed through it at the end and it really shows. But mainly I will be happy with it once i just go through and spend some more time on it. |
