First Painting with Acrylics!

1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.

- I was easier than I thought. In the beginning I was thinking about how hard it would be and was overwhelmed because art is not the best subject for me. I am not good at drawing at all. The medium colors, after blending with my fingers, it was hard to distinguish the colors from the value scale. The color wheel was pretty excited because after I had colored it, the piece actually came into life, very bright.

2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?

- I liked working on the color wheel because it was so colorful. It is really interesting how you can mix the primary colors and it actually changes into a whole new color.

3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?

- The most important discovery that I had made was black was impossible for me to make. I mixed around with lots of colors but always ended up with brown. I do not know if this normal or not. I am pretty sure you can't go wrong with mixing all colors!

4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?

- The color wheel can really go into depth. There are so many different shadings and contrast of colors in the color wheel. My favorite color is the ultramarine blue.
