My Painting

Hi guys, a few days ago we made paintings. We got to choose a bird native to NZ and I chose the Tui because at school I am the house captain of Tui.

The materials we used are: water strength cartridge paper and chromacryl paint.

Here are the steps to making one of these paintings yourself:

Step 1: Draw up a bird or anything that you would like to put in a painting

Step 2: Draw a background that can fill up the gaps of your page so it doesn't look that blank in some spots

Step 3: Start painting the background before you paint the actual bird because you want your bird in front of the background

Step 4: Once the background has dried paint a second coat by using the same colour and painting again

Step 5: Paint your bird and do a second coat once dried

Step 6: Flex your bird by adding feather lines or dots to make it stand out

I like that the sky is so smooth and it fits perfectly into the grass and hills.

I don't like that I made the sun have some kind of green aura around it.

Something that I would like to change but I can't is probably the leaves without stems. I would either get rid of the leaves or make them bigger with stems on them.
That's it for my blog post! Blog Ya Later!
