I learned a couple new skills throughout this unit. The first was that I learned how to mix acrylic paint colors together to create the shades I want. The second thing is that I learned how to layer watercolor to create different effects that can be useful in the future. I also learned that acrylic paint dries very fast and you are able to paint over it as soon as it is dry.
The project from this unit that I found most successful was the drawing of an inanimate object as I did above. I spent the most time on this project and went into detail with the girl with the umbrella. The one thing I do not like about this piece is the shading. I couldn't figure out exactly where to put my light source which kind of threw me off.
The media I am interested in using again is acrylic paint. I feel that I can create some good paintings if I had the time needed. I enjoy painting sun sets because you can include a variety of colors. I also like to paint water because it can be different shades of blue which I like mixing.
