Week 1- What I Learned

It's so strange to think that it's already the second semester. 

This week was nice, just a sort of change in pace in art class, and we got to reflect on Ben's presentation from last week. Last week, well, let's just say that his presentation kind of helped me to finally make the decision to paint what I want, what I like, and to not be afraid of the finished product. 

We watched a few watercolor videos in class, and then were assigned a new project. Paint something, in watercolor, and it'll be a card for Ben. 

I  didn't think that I would like watercolors, but honestly, they're really I'm growing to actually like them. The way I can transition the colors, from a blue, into a light blue, to purple, or whatever I feel like. 

I also like the way that a black ink pen looks on the paper, after I've gone over with color. Washed out, kind of blurry, but still there, slightly defined. I"m really enjoying this actually...

and honestly? I didn't want to stop painting when class time was almost up...:)

Can't wait to see how they turn out. 

ALSO, 

I just remembered this, I'm really interested in henna, Persian, and Islamic art. Hmmm.....
