Visual Exercise

A fun visual exercise with oil pastels,

washable crayons and colored markers!

I rub different colors around the board.

Then I draw random lines and shapes!

Now I blend all washable colors with wet brush!

And this is it:

Pinwheels

I know I make mistakes a lot.

But Lui said it is OK 

as long as I can correct it!

Lui said that I can color over my mistakes

and cover it later.

Then I paint everything with a wet brush

to blend all colors and hide my mistakes!

And my finished work:

It is all about Yellow!

Today I am painting using yellow acrylic paint.

I have to draw using diluted yellow paint with water.

Then I paint the background using the same diluted paint.

Now I use yellow ochre to paint the vase.

And then I add a bit of blue and red to yellow

to make brown to outline my vase.

Then I add blue to yellow to make green later.

Now I love yellow paints!

And here is my painting

inspired by Van Gogh's Sunflowers:

Red Butterfly

Today, I am painting using red crimson paint.

I have to dilute the paint with water

to draw the butterfly shape.

Then I fill the shapes with pure red paint:

Then I add blue on red to do border lines.

And then I mix red with white paints to create patterns.

I use the red-blue paint (violet) on some lines too.

And here is my red butterfly:
