From these activities, I have learned a lot of skills on how to paint and use paint. I've learned how to mix paint and what colors to use to get the color I want. If I want to make a color light or make a tint of it, I add white, if a want it darker or a shade of the color, I add black and if want a tone, I add gray. I also learned about complementary colors, colors that are opposite of each other on the color wheel, colors that look best with each other. I've learned how to mix and blend paint to form a gradient, to make the the base color paint go from dark to light or light to dark smoothly, how to mix paint and know what colors to mostly use to form different skin tones and mix paint to create a color wheel. Lastly, I've learned how to create different textures with paint, including textures for rocks, fur and fabric and the fundamentals of how to draw a tree. For me, I feel that the activity we did on the second day of paint warm ups, where we learned how to paint a tree, will be the most helpful for painting I have planned. The painting I have mind involves cherry blossom trees as the centerpiece or the main characteristic, the thing that'll catch people's attention. By learning the fundamentals of how to draw a tree and its structure and what to keep in mind when drawing a tree, I now have a good idea on how to paint my trees. I didn't really have a good idea about how to draw the branches or the leaves of the tree but the activity gave me a better idea of how to do both ( in this case the blossoms, not the leaves) and now I have better chance of painting them and will hopefully be able to paint the cherry blossom trees I wanted to do, the ones on my reference. The activity I learned the most from was the activity where we learn how to do the three textures, the texture of rock, fur and fabric. Although the fur turned out decent, looking similar to the texture of fur, the other two, the rock and fabric texture did not look very similar to the textures they were suppose to look like. For the rock texture, the texture didn't look very hard and rough like a rock should be, the highlights were off and the crack in the rock didn't have dept and look like a crack. The fabric did even look close the fabric, the fabric has no flow and the highlights and shadings are off. Even though the textures weren't very successful, I learned a lot. I learned what brushes and tints, shade and tones to use and what to do with them to get the texture. These textures are pretty common in the everyday world, so they will be used and needed a lot in art. I have a general idea of how to do and create these textures and from doing them i hope to be able to improve in them and be able to apply them into my future creations. Some ways to make brown are by mixing yellow and purple together, blue and orange together and red and green together. You can tone down a color by adding gray or the complementary color to the color you want to tone down, to mute or neutralize the color.
