where i am at

i think that the most challenging aspect of the course so far has been making my painting look 3D, and not having a black so it makes mixing dark colors harder. like when we had to do the still life of white objects. having to make different whites with out using black was hard because i had to mix other colors to get my dark whites. i have had to get help from ms Roberts in order to understand what my painting needs to be able to make it look 3D. usually its the smallest of things but it helps.
i think i have progresses in color mixing. when we had to do the fruit paintings my colors were pretty accurate and now that we have made our own set ups my colors are coming out fine as well.
i think that looking at paintings throughout history affect us because it gives us and example and it also can provide ideas of what we should do or what we an do in the future with our own paintings.

good assessment md. say more about needing me to help point out what could be changed? what do you think i'm doing when i make those suggestions and can you envision you doing that more for yourself now?
