Peaceful Night


This painting complementary analogous. The main colors I used were purple, red, and green.  What jumps out first in this painting is the palm tree. I also put gesso down to make the tree have a 3D effect. I made this piece dark, showing the night is coming to a end.
I also used black and white for changing the pigment of my main colors. I mostly used black to make the painting look like is was night time. I add white to the red to make the sun glare off the water, looking like a sun setting. This was a very fun piece and will be painting more very soon.

The Lonely Waterfall

This painting is a analogous piece. It is called "The Lonely Waterfall". I used green and blue for the main colors, and then mix them together with white and black to get different shades. This painting was hard, because I couldn't use any other color two and mix them together to altar the pigment.

 I love to draw Mother Nature, but found it difficult to paint it. I used gesso to make the mountain rise off the canvas. I made the sky dark blue and covered it with clouds. The trees are in front of the mountain with them casting a shadow into the lake.
