1. I used 3 point perspective in my watercolor painting
2. My mom took this photo in the Pu-Dong area in Shanghai in between the 3 tallest buildings before we went on a tour to the top of the Shanghai Tower last summer. 3. I added too much water onto the paper at first and caused the paper to start getting rough and peeling off. I had to use less water and start over when the background I started started peeling on the first one. 4. The brush control warm up helped me paint the details on my piece, like the lines on the buildings. The sunset warm up also helped a lot, because doing the sunset gradient helped me do the sky and the shading of the buildings.

In Process Blog Post1. I plan to finish my piece off with a glaze. I will make the door a dark brown and the window a light blue. The main body of the house will be a tan/cream color, and there will be green vines on the house where they are drawn in. The roof will be a burgundy/red color.
2. I have found getting the right measurements for the pieces and getting the pieces to stick together well difficult. The measurements were difficult because of the roof, I had to figure out how long the sides of the side roof pieces would have to be to fit on top of the front and back triangles. Getting the pieces to stick together was also hard because the pieces I cut out weren't straight so I had to re-cut them to get them to stick well together. 3. I have found the look and shape of the piece successful so far, and looks how I wanted it to look. 4. I first made 5 square slabs, then the 2 triangles for the front and back of the roof and 2 slabs that fit as the sides of the roof. I used scratch and slip to make sure there was a tight bond between the pieces of clay as I constructed the piece. Until this point the piece was green ware, so I could still mold and shape it, but it is now bisque, as it has been fired once. Watercolor Terms PostWash/Flat Wash: A wash is adding water to your paint to paint a bigger area.
Drybrush: Using a dry brush to paint, making a scratchy look. Glazing: Adding a thin transparent layer on top of the paint Gradated Wash: Making 2 colors washed to mix in the middle Hue : A spectrum color, can be darker or lighter Intensity: How vibrant the color is Lifting Paint: The removing of paint Masking Fluid: A liquid that blocks watercolor from getting to certain spots Palette: A board that artists put their paint onto and mix the paint on Scrubbing: To rub something over and over until it comes off Color Temperature: Level of warmth in a color tint, shade: Tint is mixing a color with white, and shade is adding black to a color Transparent: How clear a color is Value: How light or dark a color is Wet-on-dry: Painting with wet paint on a dry surface Wet-on-Wet: Painting with wet paint on a wet surface Wax Resist: when wax is used so the paint doesn't get onto the part the wax is covering Salt Technique: Adding salt to a watercolor painting, and then the watercolor gets into the salt crystals and gives the painting a cool look Watercolor Paint: Paint that are pigments of color that have a water base and disperse Blotting: Using an absorbent to absorb parts of a watercolor painting to make that part lighter Watercolor paper: Paper that is designed to be painted on with watercolor paints Photo of Sketch Photo of Linoleum Block Photo of Best Finished Print This fits with the "line" theme because I used lines in parts like the rear window and the back vents, to show depth, as it shows up black, making it look like the shadow. How is your piece successful and what might you change if you were to do it again? I should have used a red ink on a black paper, because Ferrari's are usually red and the black would be the shadow. I also should have applied more ink to the block before inking the paper. The last thing I would have changed is I did the carving opposite on how it should be done, so I would have carved it correctly, so the paper color will be the object and the ink is the shadows.
Questions1. I found the watercolor techniques paper the most interesting, especially the salt technique.
2. You can lighten and erase anything you painted that you want to remove by adding water, and you cant do that with acrylic paint. 3. Too much water causes the top layer of paper to peel off and make white rolls of paper that look bad on the artwork. Most Helpful Warm-UpIn ProgressFinished Piece1. The place I chose is the caboose in Herndon, VA. I chose this place because it is where I used to live, and I lived close too it and saw it almost every day.
2. Hardest part about my photo to do was the bushes and trees in the back, because they had a lot of light and dark spots. 3. I feel like I made the sky very realistic, with the clouds and the sky going from light to dark. 4. First, I drew the sky by painting from white to light blue, then I added the clouds. After that I drew the ground , then the bushes. I added white and black into the bushes to show the lights and darks in the bushes. Then I drew the train and the tree branch. |
