What is it about...

This blog is an assignment for the Art Illustration class which I take. However, I intend to utilize it also for my studies in Literature and Education. Ever since I took my first Art class, I was thinking how Art teaching methods could be applied to teaching Literature. I hope that working on this blog will help me to straighten up my ideas, and create a new usable interdisciplinary approach.

This is not going well...

I think my cheap watercolors suck. I have put about 20 layers, and it still barely shows on the paper (the photo is darkened). Plus, the pigment is trickling down to the bottom of the palette and sits there like send instead of dissolving in the water... If I used acrylic, I'd be done by now...

    Yup, I also think watercolor is tough. Are you using tube paint or a tray of paints? What are your 3 objects? It's hard to tell with the way the photo came out so dim.

    You are working light. Don't be afraid to darken up when you know an area needs to go darker. Consider using complementary colors to do that.
