I think the video sources are very useful to help me mix paint palette , blend , and get fleshy tones. I think it’ll be easier to understand than my other text based sources.

1. I took a few different risk in the studies. I got out of my comfort zone with some abstract pieces, many paint applications, and adding pen to a painting
2. I explored with pen and painting together. I am interested in this because I had fun doing it along with the results that came from the final product.
3. The studies that were the most “successful” to me were the pen incorporated into paintings, the grey blocking and then adding blue to it, and adding white onto a dark surface. Adding pen to a painting just has a different feel to it as you look at it. Its not something you would usually expect to see, and the product comes out super nice. Then a color over a grey blocking comes out well, the grey enhances the pop of the blue. Finally, adding white to a dark background was a fun idea that I’ve never done before and it came out really well. The white would then blend with the black to make a grey scale that would then work well and limits the amount of mixing.
4. The study that didn’t work well for me was the painting of just using a pallet knife. In the future I would probably be more strategic on how I use the pallet knife and pre-plan how I would place the paint on the canvas.
5. My studio practice in these studies were kinda a little rushed I didn’t spend much time on the studies as much as I wanted to, and I wish I had spent more time developing the studies.

In this study I put the paint on the back of the pallet knife to still get hood texture but limit the amount of mixing.

In the study I did a patch work technique with yellow and blue and overlapped them. This then caused them to blend together over time. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I tired my best to make a figure (cherry) with applying paint and not blending it in. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
In this study I made a rectangle with tape and painted in it to get more sharp lines in the canvas paper.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I used one of the brushes to create almost perfect circles. And then some of the overlapped circles had underneath circle come through.

In this study I just played around with the linseed oil and the oil paints and see how they flowed with the brush stroke. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I went over a paint with sharpie that had a pen sketch underneath it to make the lined pop. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I placed paint on the canvas paper and ran the pallet knife over it to get a comfortable with the knife and making a abstract background.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
In this study I started with a black background and the. Added white to create the form. I applied the lights instead of the dark first.

In this study I took black and spread it over the canvas paper and then removed the black with just gamsol to make the object appear 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
In this study I looked at ultramarine blue with adding white and black into the mix 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Did a sketch and then just placed paint as a highlight of color were I wanted it. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I was experimenting with putting paint on a canvas and then going over the paint with a pallet knife to get a cool spread/ combination of color 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I tired a new way to apply the paint on the canvas. One color on the top of the bristles and another color on the bottom and then apply to canvas.

In this study I did a quick sketch and then I put a wash with the color the painting would have needed. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
In this I did a quick half sketch of a girl and finished the idea with oils. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
In this study I blocked in a scene quickly and then ran the pallet knife over it. Looking to see if you can still identify what you are looking at.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
In this I drew a rough sketch of a mouse. then through a wash over it and emphasize the parts I wanted with a specific color. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
In this I used the brush to paint strawberries abstractly to see how the brush strokes would affect how the viewer outlook on the painting. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I drew on-top of my previous abstract painting with a pen to high light the important parts of the painting. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I was using only the pallet knife to paint and create an abstract object( flower). Seeing if the texture will help out with the depth of the painting. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I only used the pallet knife for this painting, got really good texture from just using the pallet knife.

Layering with a blue on top of a black and white painting. Came out nice with the grey poking through

Applying a quick light layer of shadowing on a real-time still life

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Was experimenting with layers and￼ reestablishing lights and darks

Experimenting with shadows and learning how to place it with a real-time still life with a light source

The paint I used for the wash and basic out line was water mixable. Never knew oil paints could be water mixable.

# data[].attributes.body
I was experimenting with the oil paints and seeing how to get a good skin tone.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to use complementary color, along with primary colors. The sphere was the mix of ultramarine blue and Alizarin Crimson

# data[].attributes.body
I painted over a creative mind piece. Trying something new with a sphere that isn’t just one color. Didn’t go as well as I wanted it to go.
