Final Week Art Camp

The Party's Over

This was the final week of Teens and Tweens

art camp and Kylee and I had a great time.

Art Camp is all about experimenting and learning.

We had a few minutes of experimentation 

in our final art camp session this week.

 

Our experiment was a study in value.
The theory is even if you get the color wrong, 
but the value is right, your painting will be right.

In the above photo Kylee is painting a pink tree,
trying to get the values of the leaves right.
In the experiment she learned how to use pressure on her brush, build value by mixing paint,
and how to paint a tree.

In the photo below, camper Kylee is in the beginning stages
of her final project, a nautilus shell. 

 You can see Kylee's example further back
as she works on the front part of the shell.

 Below Kylee is mixing paint to achieve depth and form on her shell.
 

You can see she is concentrating on the details

of her shell.

Ta DAH!!!!!!!

Look at this beauty.

And the shell ain't bad either.

Kylee did a phenomenal job on this shell.

You can see the depth she got in on the back part of the shell

and how she made the front part look rounded.

Very proud of her.

 Another camper finished the four week art camp

and received a certificate for her work.

Thanks Kylee for coming and sharing your 

sweet spirit with me.

Keep painting.
