1. I chose to do watercolor to paint a fountain filled with flowers and tree reflections. I chose this project because I came late in the semester, so I never got to try watercolor. For this piece I thought water color would work to show the waters fluidity.
2. To start, I sketched my piece out and chose the colors I would use. Then, I picked up a watercolor tray, put the pigments in, and filled with water. I then started painting the flowers first with pink and layered to show dimension. After, I painted the tree outlines and then the water around everything. Then I darkened the trees more because you couldn't see the water separately. Lastly, I painted the fountain part grey. 3. I think the most successful part about my piece was the flowers and the way I made them look almost realistic wothout too much detail. I made them look like they were floating on water. The flowers really brightened the piece and is mostly the center of focus. 4. If I redid this piece, I would darken the trees more and lighten the water to create more contrast. As it looks now, it's a little muddy, so next time I would make my colors more distinct and separate. Other than that, I also might want to add flowers all over the top to have more to look at. Overall, I think I did my piece well, but I definitely could improve if I were to do it again.
