Process
For my third panel, I began with the sun by using colors, red, orange and yellow. I did dash around the sun starting with yellow. Once I was satisfied, I decided to add a blue and purple dash around the sun. Then I moved on and did the mountains, also the technique i used, was not coloring in, but using vertical and horizontal dashes, of two shades of brown. This painting consisted of a lot of overlapping of colors. I used the same technique for my sky and grass, I used both light and darker shade of those colors. |
