2020 - 2021 20% Time
11-5-20
For my first 20 time project, I painted the sky and the ocean. I used the colors: cherry, glacier, periwinkle, and golden amber. I used the biggest paintbrush to blend the colors golden amber and cherry. I also learned how to blend colors that were not very blendable like periwinkle and golden amber.

This week I painted a purple and pink background with trees and a stream coming down. I used the colors igloo, turnip, obsidian, and grape. I used my sponge brush to paint the trees and use my smallest brush for the tree's trunk. I used a big brush for the background and the stream to get the first layer. I used my smaller brush to paint in the finer details.

I decided to do something different than a landscape. I drew a baby Yoda for fun with these colors: periwinkle, apple, and maple syrup. I planned to outline this in sharpie because it looked better than without. I used my small paintbrush for the fine details in the baby Yoda painting

For my 20% time project I painted a galaxy background with two trees. First I took out the paint and squeezed little droplets of paint of these colors: igloo, grape, turnip, periwinkle, blueberry, and glacier. I placed my canvas vertically with the darkest color at the top to the lightest colors at the bottom. The Galaxy background went from dark to light with black trees at the bottom. I learned how to sprinkle white paint which acted like stars and to make somewhat of a planet in space. Next week I’ll probably do a landscape of a desert, but until next time we meet again.

This week for my time 20 Time project I painted sort of a sunset background with power lines. I dabbed on with a sponge brush white paint to resemble clouds. I used my smallest paintbrush to make the power lines and the wooden pillars. I also used the sponge to paint the trees black. The sun is also painted white like the clouds.

Today for my 20 Time project I went for a seafloor that has plants that come out from the ground like seaweed. I used the colors turquoise, baby blue, and navy blue. It goes from dark to light, the bottom being the darkest because it gets no sunlight. I learned how to blend colors better than I did before because I wasn't the best at blending colors. Next week I don't know what I'm going to do because there are so many options on youtube I could literally do anything.

This week I painted something I usually don't paint. I painted an abstract painting of just shapes with my big paintbrush. I used the colors: fog, fawn, obsidian, glacier, and spruce. I had to use tape because I didn't want the paint overlapping and messing it up. I got to do something that didn't have a background.

This week I decided to paint the sky with the woods and its reflection over the water. The colors used were Igloo, obsidian, glacier, periwinkle, golden amber, and turnip. I used the sponge brush to paint the clouds. My biggest paintbrush is for blending colors. I blended the sky and lake with my brush. I used the fan brush to make the trees look realistic. What I used for the son was my acrylic paint tube, tip.

Today I painted a boat in the ocean. I didn't paint the ocean the actual color because I wanted to do something different this week. The colors I used were Igloo, obsidian, turnip, maple syrup, and tennis ball. I used my pallet knife to paint the boats and to smooth out the background colors.
1-27-21
Today I painted a wetland with a sunset. I used the colors golden ball, tennis ball, cherry, pomegranate, obsidian, and igloo. The same smoothing process happened with the knife and my brush. I used my knife for the glare in the water to give it dimension. The water goes from dark to light because the trees cast a shadow over the water.
2-3-21
I decided to paint palm trees with sunset in the background. The colors I used were nectarine, pomegranate, golden amber, obsidian, tennis ball, turnip, and cherry. My skills with the fan brush will have to go to the next level with this painting. I used my knife for the palm tree's trunk and my fan brush to make the leaves of the palm tree.

This week I went with a swamp of some sort. I used the colors nectarine, periwinkle, obsidian, igloo, fawn, sugar maple, mustard, and mouse. The smoothing process begins with my knife and ends with my brush. I used my palette knife for the trees and the fan brush was used to make the leaves.
2-17-21
I did a sunset with a little hill at the bottom. The colors I used were cherry, nectarine, tennis ball, igloo, obsidian, periwinkle, turnip, and glacier. It took me a while to blend because it was such light colors and used to blend dark colors. I used the tape as a cover-up so I didn't overlap the colors. All I used was my big paint and my knife.
2-24-21
I did the same painting twice but instead of doing the hill in all black, I mixed brown and grey. The colors I used were cherry, nectarine, tennis ball, igloo, obsidian, periwinkle, fog, fawn, turnip, and glacier. The blending process was easier because I practiced with light colors. The hill was also easy because it was sort of dark colors.

This week I decided to do a misty background with a flowery theme in the front. I used the colors obsidian, cherry, igloo, lagoon, parrot, pomegranate, and sugar maple. I used my knife and brush to blend the background. I used my fan brush to make the flowers stem and leaves and the petals of the poppy.

Today I painted an ocean, the inside of an ocean. I used the colors igloo, obsidian, periwinkle, and glacier. I blended the colors with my knife, then my brush. I used the colors to make an abstract painting of the ocean. I used my fan brush to make the waves look more realistic and to blend some of the colors that I added to the second layer.

I honestly don't know what I painted this week, I'm guessing a piece of land with some sticks with no leaves. I used the colors golden amber, maple syrup, tennis ball, igloo, fawn, fog, bison, and obsidian. This blending was different this week because I didn't blend the whole canvas I left the piece of land unblended. I didn't get to use my fan brush this week because there weren't any leaves on the three sticks.

This time I drew a galaxy background with mountains in the front of the galaxy background. I used the colors obsidian, grape, turnip, and igloo. The blending process begins again, starting off with my knife and then my brush. I also used my knife for the mountains and then used my brush to smooth it out, therefore it is not choppy.
3-31-21
I painted an orange yellowish sky with clouds and trees. The colors that I used were obsidian, golden amber, tennis ball, cherry, pomegranate, and igloo. I finally got to use my and for the trees and the clouds. The blending process happened with my knife and then my brush. I used my knife for the trunks of the tree and the ground the trees are on.
4-7-21
I decide to paint with more of my greens because I haven't used much of them its entire time.
The colors I used were spruce, obsidian, periwinkle, cherry, golden amber, parrot, igloo, and igloo. I used my knife and brush to blend. I also used my knife to make the stems of the flowers. I put the droplets of paint on my knife to make the petals of the flower. For the middle of the petals, I just squeezed the paint out of my tube onto the canvas.
4-14-21
It's pretty much the home stretch of the 20-time project. I painted a pink purplish sky in the background with some birds. In the front, I painted grass and in the midst of that flowers will be there. I used the colors, turnip, grape, igloo, periwinkle, obsidian, celery, parrot, lagoon, and spruce. I used my fan brush to make the grass and the stems of the flowers. Before I did the grass and stems I did the blending process with my knife and my brush.

This is my second to last week of my 20-time project so I decided to paint a lake with patches of land with flowers coming out. The colors I used were nectarine, spruce, turnip, parrot, obsidian, lagoon, glacier, igloo, grape, tennis ball, periwinkle, and bluebell. I used my and brush to make the patches of land, but I used my knife to make the bottom of the patches and the stems of the flowers. I did the same thing for the petals I dabbed paint with the tip of my tube.
4-28-21
Today for my 20-time project I painted a landscape with trees and a lake. I used the colors sugar maple, tennis ball, lagoon, and glacier. I had the lake nearest the trees darker because the trees cast a shadow over the lake. I got better at blending with my palette knife since I got it a few months back. While I got my palette Knives I got a new set of paintbrushes.

Looks like you've become a great painter. The picture you painted looked really nice. You did really well with all the little details. I also liked how you added all the links for the videos. Something I feel like you should add is get more into detail. Like by adding how long it took you to paint them, did any problem occur when painting, and what you did with all the paintings.
