what i know

-the primary colors are red yellow and blue
-he secondary colors are orange green and purple
-you create secondary colors by mixing together the primary colors
-complimentary colors are the colors that are opposite from each other in the color wheel
-two ways to emphasize something is by varying the size or the location
-to create a shadow you mix the color of the object that you painted and complimentary color of the object
-to create the illusion of a highlight you would make the color of the object lighter
-if i wanted to make something look like it was far away i would make it smaller, and the colors would be cooler and and it would be lighter than the rest of the painting
- the steps to building a painting are sketching what you want, then you mix colors to start to get the colors that are needed. you can also add shadows and highlights

a painting i remember

a painting that i remember is one that is in my dining room. it is a big picture of a flowers that are in vase. each of theses flowers are very detailed and each of them look alike but at the same time they are all very different. i remember it because i see it everyday

my skills as an artist

my skills as a artist are that i can focus on small details. i like to work with small projects and that allows me to focus and work on the details of the project. another strength is that i am able to concentrate easily and tunes out noise. another strength is that i can mix colors well so that i can create the new colors that i need.
