Reflection II

On the second week of this new project which is the last week of school, Mr. Pat told us that we had to be finished with our wash so that we could continue next term.That lesson, I went straight to get the paints and mix the color that I wanted. I got the light blue that I want and started to paint on the canvas. I mixed the paint with a little bit of water so that it does look like a wash. I also remembered to paint on the sides because Mr. Pat said that the canvas would not be framed so the sides need to be painted. I painted from the top with light blue and then I added some blue along the way so that the color would get darker. When I was doing that, I realized that I was pouring out too much blue than I needed. I kept adding more color so the color never seem to get less. So I decided to get another cup and divide the color up. I poured some light blue into the new cup; just enough to make a darker blue so that I could paint. This way, I would be saving the color and not wasting it because if I don't separate the color, then I would be adding more and more blue until it's too much and would be turned into leftover paint. I continue to make darker blue and paint until I get to the bottom. Then I asked Mr. Pat whether I have to paint blue over the rocks or not. He said that I could just paint the rocks with brown so I went to wash the leftover blue. After that I went to get brown and start mixing color and do the same thing. I finished one rock and the time was almost up. First I thought that I would stop there but then I remembered that I should not do that because then the next time, I might not be able to mix the same brown I did that day. So I rushed a little bit and painted the other rock. I finished just in time and went to put the canvas on the drying racket and that was the end of that lesson!
