This month I worked on finishing a piece that I was working on previously. Ended up not liking it and just kind of stopped. I think I needed some time away from it because I worked so hard on the gradient and just got a tired of the idea. I had finished the swing and the gradient and lastly I just needed to add little details but I think I will revisit this painting over the summer and try to get a perspective on the summer flowers and try to look at the nature rather than on the internet. I had to solve problems with this piece. I was struggling to get a good gradient and I was unsure of how to make it better. I started to mix a lot of white in the areas that I was blending the green and blue since those colors are very distinct colors and are hard to blend. I started another piece of artwork this month. I took a small square canvas and I wanted to create a small painting of a seahorse. I looked at a picture of the seahorse so I could draw it right. Then I made it my own piece of work by adding a background with green plants and a coral theme. This piece is not finished yet but I plan to finish it and focus on all the details with seahorse. I took a risk with this piece because the colors don’t blend that easy on a wooden canzas. I had to keep adding black to different shades of blues to try to blend that deep colors. This month has been a good month of work and I’m excited to have a piece that I can work on/ finish over the summer!
