Watercolour Painting

Today for art we have to write about what we have done over the term for watercolour. I've done many pieces but I can't find them. Watercolour is the easiest way of painting because you can rehydrate the paint after it is dried compared to acrylic paint after it is dried you cant use it again. There are 9 terms to Watercolour painting. Dilution is when you add water into the paint to lighten the colour of the paint. Glazing is when you apply thin transparent washes of one colour over another. Layering is when you apply premixed colours over another wash to change the value and intensity. Value or tone is when the range from light to dark of colour determine shadows and highlights of an object. Intensity is when the saturation of colour brightens or strengthens. Tint is when it's created by adding water to the original colour. The more water that's added the weaker in intensity. Movement is the effect you get when you let the water move the pigment across the page. Water into colour is when you use water to mix the paint on a palette then onto paper. Colour into water is when you paint the page with water first then add colour into it - the paint will only go where the after is. 

B&E

Last week we started Business and Enterprise. Business and Enterprise is a kete we do at school, we make our own products and sell them. The goal of Businesses and Enterprise is to be sustainable in different ways (environmentally sustainable, culturally sustainable, economically sustainable and socially sustainable). The people in my group are Aone (finance manager), Esha (marketing manager), Isabella (production manager), Chelsea, and me (CEO), our business name is Crafty Christmas because our goal is to make Christmas Ornaments and Clay rings. We are going to use pieces of wood and laser cut designs on there to make Ornaments, I also have clear Christmas baubles that I bought but still haven't used yet. We are up to date with our Business plan and the only thing we need to do is our finance application for the money which Aone needs to do since she is the finance manager. My favourite part about doing B&E is you get to be creative and choose what you get to do.

Today for art we have to write a blog post about the different techniques in watercolour painting. Watercolour is the easiest way of painting because you can rehydrate the paint after it is dried compared to acrylic paint after it is dried you cant use it again.

Colour into water is when you paint the page with water first then add colour into it - the paint will only go where the after is. My favourite part of this was doing watercolour painting because I liked doing the water into colour then putting salt onto it after.
