The name of this project was the leaf painting and the goal of it was to go outside and find some leaves, them put them of a white sheet of paper and do our best to recreate them using watercolors. This was the first time I have used watercolors in a few years and I feel like I was able to learn how to mix the colors to create other colors that don't come in the paint set. I also did better at starting with the light colors such as yellow, which is something I have struggled with in the past. I utilized shape, which is an art element, when I was drawing the outlines for the leaves. I also used color when I had to mix different watercolors to get the proper leaf shade. These art elements help create contrast in the leaves and variety in the colors. The mood in this painting is peaceful because the way the colors of the leaves compliment each other and how some of the leaves overlap.
