Artists behaviors
Artists take risks
In this project I took many risks. My first risk was drawing the final tree without tracing the rough draft. My second risk was adding more branches to the tree, because I didn't know how they would look. Then I colored the tree without using that color on another piece of paper to see what it would look like. Next I colored the field without trying the color I was using on something else, so therefore I did not know what it was going to look like. My last risk was adding a black line right through the middle of the artwork, to represent the horizon, that did not look good.
Artists reflect
In this project I used oil pastels. I learned how to use oil pastels correctly to were they don't look like a 5 year old did it. I used various blending techniqes with this project too. I like using the oil pastels. I like the way they blend with each other and they way you can't tell where the strokes are.
