Observational drawing and mark making project evaluation

I have learnt many sorts of drawing and mark making techniques such as, cross hatching, shading and simple continuous lining. We also learnt how to shade properly aswell. Some of these techniques that we learnt were completely new to me, including, cross hatching and continuous lining. 

Through out the many pieces of work I did I included a large variety of media including, water colours, acrylic paints, coloured pencils, drawing pencils, black pen and water, brusho ink, oil pastels and chalk. 

Using coloured pencil on parcel & Newpaper was quite effective as you could see the different texture from the parcel paper been quite rough to the newspaper been really smooth. 

Using colour pencil on ink was just like using colour pencil on normal white paper but you had to vary your colours so that they didn't camouflage into the ink and paper. 

Using drawing pencils on white emulsion was quite difficult, because we had to put the white emulation paint on thick so it gave a rough look and feel too it, made it a lot harder to draw and shade because on the rougher bits the shading sad a lot darker than the smoother areas of the white emulsion on paper. 

Using the bleach on the brusho inks was the most difficult work I've had to face because all the colours blend and if you out too darker ink on the paper it just looks unprofessional and very U eat when you try put bleach on with a cotton bud to creat an image. I did enjoy doing it though as it was a challenge. 

My sgraffito is is particularly effective with impasto painting, aside from that it also shows another level of texture as well as contrasting colour.

I personally think my homework studying is really good. I do complete all the homeworks and I spend more time on them than I should as I enjoy doing the tasks that I'm set to complete. 

I do believe that I have improved my observational skills as I have learnt new skills Aswell as practising my old skills to become better at doing the tasks and completing them with better techniques and neatness. 

I manger my time exceedingly well in this project as I'm a extremely fast worker but keep my work as neat as possible. 

I do believe that I have produced my best possible drawings and mark making in the time frame we were given. 

My overall thoughts on this particular project are quite simple to be honest. I really enjoyed doing the project as I got to be very creative and enjoyed every task we were set. Overall I'd defiantly do something like this project again. Was very delightful. 

Kitchen cupboard observational study

 The task was to produce x1 A3 tonally shaded observational study of the kitchen cupboards content. We had aprox of 3 hours to do it, but I did 5 hours. 

First of all I took a photo of my kitchen cupboard content so my parents didn't disturb the placement of the objects. 

Then I got a A3 piece of paper, a HB pencil, 4HB pencil, rubber and a sharperner. 

I divided my A3 page into 3 Asif it was 3 shelfs so I could make the objects in proportion. 

I used many different types of tonal shading such as, cross hatching, sitting, shading and a simple continuous lining. 

One thing I enjoyed about this was drawing the making each object in proportion. 

One thing I disliked about this activity was how dark I did my shading. 

Next time if I do this activity I shall lighten up my shading by using a different pencil and us will also neaten up my drawing in general. 

This was the kitchen cupboard as my photo. 

This was my drawing after I drew the content of the kitchen cupboard. 

Primary, secondary, tertiary colours!

The colour  wheel or colour circle is the basic tool for combining colours. The first circular colour diagram was designed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666.

The color wheel is designed so that virtually any colours you pick from it will look good together. Over the years, many variations of the basic design have been made, but the most common version is a wheel of 12 colors based on the RYB (or artistic) colour model.

Traditionally, there are a number of colour   combinations that are considered especially pleasing. These are calledcolor harmonies or colour chords and they consist of two or more colours with a fixed relation in the colour wheel.

ColorImpact is designed to dynamically create a colour wheel to match your base colour.

Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Colours 

In the RYB (or subtractive) colour model, the primary colours are red, yellow and blue.

The three secondary colors (green, orange and purple) are created by mixing two primary colours.

Another six tertiary colors are created by mixing primary and secondary colours.
