Texture Painting - In Progress

This is my texture painting in progress. I've started putting the toilet paper on and I've finished the elephant. It's taking a long time to finish but I think in the end it will look really good. Once I finish the glue I have to decide what colors to use. I'm thinking cool colors for the vines and background, like light green and light purple. We'll see how it turns out!

Texture Painting In Progress

This is my texture acrylic painting in progress. It's two elephants in the middle and leaves/vines around it in a nice pattern. Right now I'm adding the glued stuff on top of it. This gives it texture, which I will then paint over top of. I'm making the elephants pop out more than the design on the outside. I hope it turns out as well as it did when I finished drawing it all.

Acrylic Color Brick Finished

This is my color brick/wheel/acrylic thing that I don't know the technical name of. It was pretty boring to do and time consuming. I personally am not a fan of color wheels or brick or whatever this thing is. It was just boring to do and pretty anti-climatic to paint. It was just necessary to see all the colors mixed for when we start our ceiling tiles. The hardest part was doing this neatly which I don't think I succeeded in doing. It's finished though!

Tutorial Watercolor Flowers

These are my tutorial watercolor pieces. I like the second one better even though it's still in progress. I'll paint one more flower on and then it'll be done. I splatter painted the bottom part, the "grass," and then put the flowers over top, dripping down the black. It's turning out just how I imagined, so i like it a lot. My favorite part to do was the splatter paint. It wasn't very challenging at all, hence why I made two, They are very easy and quick to make and turn out really nice. This is my final watercolor project, so I'm excited to finally be done with watercolor and get started with acrylics.
