The hue value scale. The most helpful warm up was the textures with paint. The W.I.P (work in progress) of my painting. The final piece, "The Pier at Early Dawn." The piece represented is the pier at Wrightsville Beach. It is important to me because I absolutely love the ocean, and I would spend everyday there. What I found the most challenging was that the paint kept drying out every time I painted extensively with all of the painting parts. What I feel is most successful about the piece is the both the shadow of the pier and the lighting. I started out with a pencil sketch of the painting on red paint. Then I added a base of yellow and blue and used red and blue to make purple, then used white and purple to make light purple. I then painted the pier in black, which is a nice contrast to the other colors.

I learned to make purple by mixing red and blue. That was really cool! I also learned that there are a variety of different color choices in the same family, like Tangerine Cream and Carrot Cake. My favorite color family is green. To make brown, you add red, yellow, orange, and blue.

This my piece in progress. This is my finished piece. This is the detail shot I liked the most because I like antique clocks. The medium I choose for this project was oil pastels because they were colorful and I like the texture.
What I added to be my 2 in 1 was a tree and a grandfather clock. This made me think of making video games which I like to do for fun. I first drew several interesting things in my sketchbook. Next, I decided that I wanted to use the grandfather clock and tree because I thought it was a good combination. Then I sketched out my two things and combined them. Finally, I used oil pastels to bring out color to the piece. Valuable warm up Pencil sketch (It is danger tape) Pen sketch (The building in the sketch looks like an emoji) Charcoal sketch (It's a storage box) My most helpful warm up was the pen cubes. They were helpful because it was practice for the pen project which showed me how to draw using different techniques. I had no idea this many techniques existed. My favorite technique is hatching because it looks cool and I used it for my pen project.
