= = =Expressionist Watercolor Painting=

My painting relates to the Expressionist art style because I used exaggerated colors. For example, I used blue, green, yellow, red, orange, purple, and black. I used black for the pond instead of blue or green. Second, I made it figurative instead of real life or cartoony. I chose a white-tailed deer fawn to represent me because me because sometimes, I'm a deer in headlights, looking at the one shining goal at the end. I am also sometimes naive and energetic. I chose purple to represent me because blue was my favorite color and it showed my quiet side, and red showed the loud and energetic side of me. Blue + Red = Purple. Yellow was also for energy, black for the times that I am sometimes gloomy, and green when I feel neutral. I used the Graduated Wash for the black pond and the purple deer, Rock Salt for the closest tree, and the 3 green/yellow grass strands were painted with the Wet into Wet technique. I would change the background of this picture if I could do it over because this background isn't really that unique and eye-popping. I like how I painted the trees in the back. The blue and the green seems to blend very well.

=One Point Perspective Room Critique= The theme of this room is fruits. I chose this because, I didn't have an idea. But I knew there were a wide variety to choose from, and I liked how they were colorful. The unexpected background of this room is the beach. I think it made a good match because green goes well with yellow and blue(in my opinion). The beach added to the colorfulness the room already had. Getting ideas was the biggest challenge. I couldn't think of what theme to do. I'm very proud of my coloring. It's because I think I did well at shading at some parts and making it look smooth. I'd like to change the theme of this room. I wish I had done a room that reflected more on my interests and personality. media type="custom" key="5768495"
