I am proud of how I showed unity throughout my piece. I was able to chose a color scheme that I actually liked and developed it into something nice. If I could do anything differently, I would not have used as much red throughout the piece, or I would have made the red lighter. I would have also used lighter shades of blue throughout the canvas. I enjoyed the documentation process because I could successfully keep track of my progress and see whether I liked what I was doing or not.

The use of the pallet knife can compromise the unity of the painting if used incorrectly. I have to be careful with how i apply the paint, where I apply it, and whether I want to blend the colors on the canvas or not. Sometimes blending on the canvas can result in having a more   unattractive color that doesn't fit my color scheme. My piece has an analogous color scheme that ranges from blue to red. I used various tints, tones, and shades of these colors for my project. I used several shades and tones of blue throughout my project, and tints of purple and red. To further unify my piece, and add more color, I created a tint of red that resembles a pink color, and applied it to the canvas

I like the marks made from the pallet knife and how the colors blend together

Today I accomplished making the red less prominent. I added different shades of blue and tints of red to the piece. I'm trying to unify the project by using color, texture, and marks from the pallet knife. I've created texture by using modeling paste, and layering the paint. You can see the different colors throughout the piece, which shows rhythm. By using the pallet knife, I am able to show rhythm in the marks that I have made. I'm struggling with the placement of certain colors. To fix this problem, I need to plan out where I want to put the colors, and which colors it looks best with.

I wasn't in class. I don't know why I put red on the canvas, I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Elements present in my piece: color, texture, and value.
Principles present in my piece: unity
My painting has an analogous color scheme. It ranged from blue to red. Texture is present in my piece because the paint is layering on top of each color, and the modeling paste. The colors range from dark red to a light red (almost pink) and light to dark blue or violet. I want to use the elements to establish unity and movement throughout my piece.  A challenge that I have faced is the color scheme. The red is over powering the rest of the colors. To solve this, I can use more blue and violet, and lighten the colors.

I forgot to take a picture of the canvas today. I decided to use a canvas board for my abstract piece. I used white gesso to prime the canvas.

I took a risk by covering the background with warm colors. On the second day I mixed red and green to make a brown/red color. Today I continued to work with red. Instead of using a paint brush, I decided to paint with a pallet knife. This is helping me develop my composition into a more complex design by allowing me to experiment with different painting techniques. It looks more chaotic. I'm proudest of how the paint blends together. I need to continue developing color scheme because right now it doesn't have a specific scheme and it needs to be united.

I worked with acrylic paint today. I started the piece by using white gesso. I used the modeling paste to add texture to the background and then used the glazing method to add a blue background with some green. The painting process is going well, but it is hard to transfer my ideas onto the canvas board.

I like how the colors are layered, and the short strokes that are used
