What I know now

The primary colors are red blue and yellow
the secondary colors are orange green and purple
you create secondary colors by mixing the primary colors together
complimentary colors are colors that are across from each other on the color wheel
two ways you could emphasize something in a painting is by the color and the placement
if i were trying to creat a shadow on an object in a painting i would mix a complimentary color with the color that i am using
if i were painting an object and i wanted to create the illusion of a highlight on it i would make the color of the object lighter than it is
if i were trying to make an object look lies it's far away i would make it smaller
these are the steps i would take to build a painting are making a small sketch, pick out the colors, get all my material, run it rhought miss roberts, and start

A painting I remember

A painting that I remember is a sailboat at my cousins house. The picture is small itself but the colors are amazing they are cool colors and they all go together. The picture is very realistic I fell that i could reach in and touch the sailboat.

My skills as an artist

My strengths as an artist is that I am good with using colors. I can concentrate will when need be. I am good at painting beaches, they are my favorite to paint! I struggle when there is a lot of things going on that i need to paint espicially if there are things at weird angles.
