I tried to focus on making sure all of the shadows forms were present in the piece. I chose black paper because it would show off the color pencil better. I'm not a big fan of this piece because I don't think the color was solid enough. I did like the white part though with the pops of color. This was good practice with colored pencils.

I'm really glad I added the leaves to the painting. I like the softer plants the most as well as the vine ones. Overall, I like the composition but I believe the quality could have been better. I did try new techniques with watercolor such as using salt, rubbing alcohol, and crayon resist. This was a fun experimenting piece.

I realize I need to add more depth with the leaves in the background. I'm going to mix red and green together to get more of an earthy tone.

The colors I'm using to show color theory is yellow/purple and red & pink/ variations of green. For shadows I mixed the colors together to make a neutral tone

I'm pretty happy with how well I used the acrylic paint. It has always been hard for me to blend so I really worked on that. I like the dark blue branch, but really dislike the other lighter branch. I also wish I would have put lighter paint around the eye. I think I added a good amount of detail to this painting.

Due to an injury to my finger, I instead did an independant project. With limited range of motion with my right hand, I used a brayer to apply the light blue background. The inspiration of this project was a dead bird that had hit out window.

I really like the background I added. I think it adds to the overall composition. In the work I wanted to work with the colors present in the flower. I also only worked with one picture of the flower, so I had to adjust it to make it seem like there was several different flowers. Overall I'm pretty happy with how this came out!

I am pretty happy with this came out. The contrast is strong just like the picture and what I wanted. I think the black background really helps make the colors pop off the page. My face looks like it is coming out of the darkness. I also believe it does kind of look like me! I'm glad I didn't cut it out and put it on other black paper.

I think I want to change the eyes here, make them less upwards and add different colors to add dimensions. Lighten up the eyebrows a little bit. The mouth needs to be going upwards a bit more.

I want to focus on a hard contrast with the hair and the light on the face. I want to keep the red tones throughout the painting and try to make it look at least semi- realistic.

This flower was the inspiration to my artwork. I loved the colors and the shape of the flower.
