Weeks 6 & 7 Quarter 2: Watercolor Painting Final

         This is what I ended up with after much fixing and un-fixing, doing and undoing and redoing and all kinds of fun stuff! It may not look much different from my in-progress painting but the changes I made are seen-in-person, OCD/perfectionist kind of changes so...yeah.

         While taking off the tape from the edges, the paper was ripped a little (heartbreaking!), but it kinda looks like it was supposed to look like that so...now I'm telling everyone I meant to do it....

Overall, this was an amazing project and a great experience! Watercolors are fun :)

Week 6 Quarter 2: Watercolor Painting Progress

     At the end of week 6, this is the progress I've made on my watercolor painting! I think I've got the basic color foundation down, and next week I will focus on making the details really pop and smoothing over the trouble spots to finish it up!

Watercolor Painting Progress

         This is my progress so far on the watercolor painting so far. This has about 4 - 5 layers, but the island trees and such have many more.

Watercolor Painting - Contour Lines

       This is the contour-line drawing for the start of my watercolor painting! This will be the very basic guideline for me. I decided to do it with grid-drawing, because grid drawing is awesome! 

This is my reference photo with the grid-lines on it.

This is the contour-line drawing with the grid-lines still on it. Sorry it's so light! I tried to be gentle :)

This is the contour-line drawing with the grid-lines erased. You can hardly see it, but that is the point!

I can't wait to get started with the painting! 

Reference Photo

This is the reference photo that I will be using for my landscape watercolor painting later this week!

Week 6 Quarter 2: Weekly Drawing - Bug (With Watercolors)

Title: Autumn Flutterings

Size: 8.5 x 11"

Media: Pencil to sketch and watercolor paints

The pencil sketch is much more detailed than the watercolor version, but the paint definitely adds more interest to it! I didn't have enough watercolor paper to use so I just made it on computer paper and that's probably why it looks a little funky. The watercolor is done dry! I didn't put any water on the paper with the paint! 

I apologize for the bad lighting in all the pictures! That's why there's so many.

Lovely autumn song:

Week 5 Quarter 2: Color Wheel

Had a ton of fun with this one! Pacman FTW! :)
I see a few things that I would have liked to do differently, like turning the red Pacman so it's eating the red and orange circles, and making the orange-yellow a little more orange, but overall I think it turned out pretty good! I like it! Enough to hang it up on my wall :)
