Chapter 9: Drawing and Painting

 

**************                 Hello Again!              **************

 10-30-2022

       I hope everyone had a good week. This week was only stressful. Between presentations and midterms, I am happy I survived it. I did my creative practice project in a weird order this week. I did the drawing, then I did the painting and the outlining in one step. With everything as crazy as it was, I am happy I was able to complete it. Regardless, it was a great help this week. I was not able to devote a lot of time too it, but I am happy with the effects. 

        I am also growing my knowledge on all these herbs and plants. I am so excited I started this project and I am sad there are only a few weeks more. I hope maybe to do some cool ones for the last few. We will see. This week I chose to do pine. 

***********************                           Monday                   ***********************

 

        On Monday, I decided I was going to sketch out the pine. I wanted to try and rely more on the paint colors than the pencil. This is also because of the limited time I had this week. I know this isn't something medicinal but I wanted something with color. I want to grow in my art style and with my information. It did help me feel better but it was not as strong as previous weeks. There was just too much stress for pencil and paper. Here is a picture of my drawing.

***********************                             Friday                    ***********************

        On Friday, I was finally able to do my painting, outlining, and labeling. However, I was so caught up in painting that I completely forgot to take a progress picture before outlining. However, I really like how this turned out. It is not the most accurate picture but I think it is the one I love the most. I had a really great time doing this painting and I needed it after the crazy week I had. Here is a picture of the final product. 

See you all next week!
