I had a bit of trouble with painting it at first and to be honest I was really nervous that it was going to end badly, but I'm glad it didn't. For these two paintings, I used Carmine from the Sargent Art watercolors and the Staedtler #8 round brush. ]]> 2020-12-11 01:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1008583502 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1008585865 Like the previous paintings I did, I also used the same watercolors and brush for this one. I really liked the way it came out, especially with the little object (I don't know what it's called) that's attached to it. I'm really proud of how I painted it but I think what would have been better was if I added a background. For the shadows, I used Ultramarine Blue and the same watercolor brush.]]> 2020-12-11 01:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1008585865 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1008591395 I decided to use Pentel Arts watercolor pencils for this one because I wanted to see what textures I can make using watercolor pencils instead of watercolor pans. I'm still not used to working with watercolor pencils but I'm actually liking the results that I'm getting. At first, I was really worried that the bushes in the background looked really ugly because I ended making the bushes darker. But, after I finished the painting I liked it a bit more. I have mixed feelings about the way the flower bouquet and the fences ended up looking. I used the Winsor and Newton angled brush for the fences. I decided to remove objects from the background and foreground because I wanted to focus on illustrating the plants. I think what would have worked better is if I added ink linework in the end.]]> 2020-12-11 01:39:40 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1008591395 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1008593992 I decided to use the graphite pencils for this painting. I decided to draw the tree and bushes outside of my house because I wanted to practice drawing more foliage. If I had more time I think it would have been better if I added more layers of graphite to add more difference in values and contrast.]]> 2020-12-11 01:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1008593992 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1008601903 I liked how I drew the flowers and the linework that I did for them. But I think what would have been better is if I added more shapes or objects for the collage. I also realized that it would have been better if I had more objects overlap. For the collage, I decided to use the Angora watercolors and Staedtler #8 Round Brush. I had a bit of trouble painting the pink flower in the bottom right of the collage but I think it ended looking better than I first thought. I also decided to create watercolor blooms and gradients when I was painting the polygons and circles but it didn't look as great as I wanted it to be. ]]> 2020-12-11 01:45:01 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1008601903 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1008604391 For these contour tests, all the objects that I drew were images at the website Pixabay, which has free images. For this one, I first worked on painting the pomegranate at the upper left corner.]]> 2020-12-11 01:46:19 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1008604391 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1012956385 This was the observational test that I liked the most to be honest. For this horse fugurine, I used the angora watercolors then added linework with a pen. I also put some watercolor blooms for texture.]]> 2020-12-13 02:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1012956385 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1012956419 2020-12-13 02:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1012956419 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1014415174 For this obsevational test, I used both the watercolor pencils and the Angora watercolors as well as the Staedtler round brush, I liked the way the gradients looked, but the leaves at the bottom came out looking blue green instead of the same color as the rest, which really infuriated me,]]> 2020-12-14 00:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1014415174 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1014417569 2020-12-14 00:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1014417569 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1014489886 2020-12-14 01:15:07 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1014489886 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1014497502 Out of all of the observational tests that I did, this is the test that I had an easy time painting. It was a bit easier for me to duplicate the shadows. However, I wished I could have added more layers in painting the bell as well as a gradient in its center. I didn't really like the way the table ended up looking. It would have been so much better if I had added more layers or more colors to the paint.]]> 2020-12-14 01:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1014497502 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1015002944 Skintone tests are definitely the tests I had the most trouble with. I didn't like how the faces came out, especially the face at the very bottom. I think out of all the tests I did this is the one I dislike the most.

I didn't like the fact that the watercolor left empty areas in the paper even though I applied multiple layers. I'm more comfortable working with regular watercolor paper. Honestly, I kind of gave up in the middle of working on it because it was really infuriating.]]> 2020-12-22 04:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1037318910 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1037527776 For my person, place, thing project, I was really inspired by the covers of gothic romance pocketbooks. The background I did is supposed to be the interior of an abandoned mansion. I decided to use desaturated colors because I wanted to illustrate how isolated the place is. I also wanted the girl I painted to look more ghostly, as if she is part of the place and not just a visitor. I think it would have been better if I added more hues to add more contrast.]]> 2020-12-22 07:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1037527776 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1037528996 2020-12-22 07:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1037528996 angelasilvestredomingo021491 https://padlet.com/angelasilvestredomingo021491/j1sgt4qxnx3wl6yr/wish/1037542274 This is the 2nd one and I think it turned out much better than the one I did earlier.
