Weekly Update; Major Project

     This week I met with a teacher and researched thoroughly about painting on canvas. After meeting with the teacher I learned that I will make many mistakes and have to erase almost everything. But she made sure that I knew that I have to be patient when learning this new technique. I told her that I have painted very ordinary things, but nothing with depth.
   While talking to her, I learned that I should start by trying to duplicate a piece of art that I research and do it step by step until I am comfortable doing my own. After talking to her I am so excited to start this project. I have purchased 4 canvas' to make sure if I make a mistake I am able to have another canvas as a backup.
      After meeting with her I began to look up videos on you tube. After looking at close to a dozen videos I fell in love with the Sunset and Cattails video because I love warm summer nights at the lake.  Sunsets and Cattails
     I am going to start with this video and hopefully learn from their technique and make it my own. I also love sharks so I may have to complete two projects for this! Sharks!
I am so beyond excited to see the end result and I hope people can learn from what I have learned!

I have purchased my supplies and I am going to start painting this week!
