Learning Journal #3

Summary

                  I have chosen to paint a parrot to see how I do on a little more surface area.  There were also some feathers that gave some details I had to work with.  I chose very bright fun colors of paint for this one.  The examples are orange, green, blue, yellow, and purple.  I thought that the colors looked like a true parrot or macaw.  Next I made sure I got the best brushes out of my supplies to create a masterpiece.  Then finally I painted away!  After that I tried to analyze the problems and fix them with a detail brush.  Then I took it to my parents to get their opinions on it.


Reflection

                  This was defiantly my best one yet!  I have learned that the darker the color the better it looks when it dries.  I am seeing improvements on the little mistakes I was making earlier.  I think the bigger areas are both easy and challenging at the same time.  I could not figure out how much paint to use, so I kept having to guess.  I have one lesson for myself, it take a lot of paint!  My parrot is also my families favorite!  I hope to get better on my next two too.  I love this sculpture painting!
