We have now started a new unit, called Key to painting. In this unit, we are focussing on the aspects of painting - mixing cultures, what to apply first, warm and cool colours etc. We have recieved guiding points on how to create a successful drawings, as follows:
1. Big to Small
2. Thin to thick
3. Light to dark
4. Warm to cool.
We had to draw what was displayed on the table, first using pencil to outline the big contours of the overall picture. Afterwards, we started with the warm, light colours - mixing a lot of white and water - and filled the whole page with whatever chosen colour. Then today, we continued with this, as we followed on to mixing the real colours of the display and applying them onto our drawing.
I think my drawing is turning out to be very good, as I have applied warm colours to the drawing, creating a softness to it. That is what I want to achieve - to create a drawing which is soft and calming. The picture of my drawing will be coming later.
