the applesMy class had to practice oil paint and still life before moving on to the next still life oil painting. In class we had to use two techniques: brush and pallet knife. At first I was horrible at still life and especially painting green apples, and have sworn off ever painting them again. I was not taught how to paint oil still life's so I had an extremely difficult time trying to figure it out. I started at least six apples and only finished four, and only three to Mrs. Rossi's liking. I hate this green apple. The pallet knife one was fun to paint and I really enjoyed the colors I put in the background/foreground. The pallet knife apple was tricky at first, but turned out great in the end. By painting this many apples in one week I do not think I will paint another apple for years. still lifeAfter practicing painting apples my class had to paint a still life. I took my own picture of the scene and used it as my reference photo. I had a hard time getting the fruit to look the way I wanted it to. The hardest part of the painting was the fabric; I had no idea how to make it look realistic - I hope I did. I really enjoy the end result of the painting. I feel that I showed the true values of the fruit and objects by creating the correct highlights and shadows. My favorite part of the painting is the pepper. It took me days to complete each of the fruit, I was just never happy with how they looked.

AboutWhile I was signing up for classes last year, my junior year, I was looking for electives that would make senior year better. Then I remembered this class my art teacher made, so that's the story behind me picking this class. The best part is that makes half of my classes art. Over my high school career I have completed art classes more frequently than most of the other art students, so I essentially was running out of art classes. Archives
