The second project we have done involved painting an area using the idea of place, hue, values, and proportions. This is my hue value scale, which helped me learn to mix different colors to get different shades and hues. This is also probably my most helpful warm-up, as I did not know how to make certain shades and hues of colors to put on my painting. Here is my painting after the first day. I was able to paint the background a pinkish-red to make the colors more vibrant. I had also sketched the basic outline for objects to make it easier to paint them. I had the basic sidewalk down and some of the street painted by this stage. This was after the 3rd day of painting. I had the cars in the background roughly done and had gone over the sidewalks again. I had also painted the grass and some vegetation in the back. This was the 5th-6th day of working on the painting. I finished the trees and sky, and added more vegetation. I then went over the sidewalk and cars again with another coat to make it smoother. This resulted in the final image in which you see.
The place I choose to represent was where an old friend that lives in Florida lives. I chose the location because of the good memories I had being with them and visiting them. The most challenging thing about this painting is the small details. I found it hard to use a paintbrush to make the details on the cars and the sidewalk cracks proved hard to get them straight and thin enough. I feel that the vegetation is my best part of this painting. I did well on the shades of the bushes and how the trees look compared to the other parts if the painting.
