Painting With Peggi

1. I have learned how to paint quickly and efficiently with a big brush.
2. I have learned color mixing and painting quickly with a big brush in order to make it like shapes of color instead of blending the colors together.
3. "Mapping" is when we sketch out the painting and then creating shapes where different colors or shadows should go.
4. I didn't know that painting with the same sized brush which was bigger than I'm bigger would be a lot easier to use than a smaller brush for details. I also learned how to properly mix colors and create shapes for shadows instead of blending everything together to create shadows.
5. An idea Mr. Gaudreau was trying to teach us was the proper way to color mix, and how to create the right color. He also taught us how to create shadows as well.
6.  An artistic idea I remember Mr. Gaudreau taught me was how to properly hold the paint brush to get more efficient painting strokes and it helped me paint quicker.
7. Some ideas to take away from the video was to not be afraid of making a mistake while painting quickly because you can always go back over and fix it and to also not be afraid to layer up paints, even if the first layer is still wet.
8. Line was used when mapping out where each color would go and it also helped me map out the chairs. Color was used to make the painting vibrant and add more contrast. Shape was used to map out the colors and shadows of everything. Texture was used to create the trees and bushes. Value was used to find the right colors that Peggi used.
9. Painterly means being able to see each individual color and paint stroke. The painting itself isn't blended that well and was done in a quick style.
10. One thing I learned that I'll use in my next painting is looking for colors in shadows and color mixing.
