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

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:

I use the red-blue paint (violet) on some lines too.
And here is my red butterfly:
