 Expressionist Watercolors Reflection



My painting is similar to an Expressionist painting by not being cartoony but at the same time, not being 100% realistic. For my colors, I used calm ones. For example, I used a blue mountain and a yellow-spotted horse. Also, I wanted my viewers to feel calm, relaxed when they see green and blue colors. In my painting, I have a horse with a mountain background. I drew the horse taking time to slowly chew and digest the grass. I chose a horse to represent me because horses are happy animals but they can get very angry when it is disturbed the wrong way. I can sometimes do that. Also, they listen to people very well and are nice animals once you get to tame them. So, in human-form, that would be like when you first meet me, you may think I am not nice, but I actually am a happy person. I used the color yellow to represent me because I like to be cheerful and make someone else cheerful when they feel sad or gloomy and that is the kind of color yellow is. Yellow also stands out since it is bright which is like me. The different water color techniques I used where in the mountains, I used feathering, all around the place, I used some bleeding, also feathering, I used some rock salt on the grass the horse is on. I did some lifting out on the grass and mountains. I also used graduated wash on the mountain. Mostly on the green one. If I could do my project over, I would probably choose to make the background more creative because my background seems a little too dull. Only mountains doesn’t seem exciting and full of energy. The thing I like the most about my painting is that in overall, it looks okay. There were no big mistakes that you could point out right away and I liked how the colors matched and blended in with each other.

NOTE: I DIDN'T TAKE A PIC OF MY PAINTING BECAUSE IT WAS TOO WET!

The theme of my room is food room. I chose this because I like food a lot and I have always dreamed of living in one of these places. My unexpected environment is at the beach and I think it is a good match for my image because normally candy and other food turns bad in glazing sunlight. So, I put my candy house in the beach. The biggest challenge in this assignment was to put the furniture in one point perspective. Mostly, the writing I have in my room was hard to do. It was the hardest to do because it was confusing on how to do it and when I finish doing it, it looks wrong and so I got confused most of the times. The thing I am most proud about is the couch, which is a hot dog with ketchup and if you look real closely, I added a small amount of mustard because I don’t like mustard that much but I would like to try tasting it once in a while. This is the thing I am most proud of because I like hot dogs and that was the first thing I thought of for my food house. If I could change anything, I would change the wallpaper. I think the wallpaper is kind of too colorful. I would like to change it to just the sides being colorful and the bottom floor would be plain and the ceiling would have a window that showed another scene of the beach. I would like to change the wallpaper because it is too colorful and you loose focus of the furniture and focus on the wall paper.
