This is the watercolor project afer class today.  I worked in the trees some as well as on the barn adding color and value as well as detail.

This is the acrylic after class today.  I worked some on the barn adding color and some values.  It needs more of both.

This is the acrylic barn project between last class and today's class.  I worked on the trees (to try and catch up to your trees).

This is the colored pencil barn after class today.  Remember to layer colors into the trees as well as light and dark values.  This still needs work in the trees.  I also added some value, color, and detail to the barn.

This is the colored pencil piece between the last class and today's class.  I added some color and dark in the trees.  It takes quite a few light layers of color.

Watercolor barn - I worked on the trees on the left.  I used 'dotted' color to make it look like clumps of leaves and worked to make the 'sky holes' more natural looking.  The colors I used were sap green, indigo, and permanent alizarin.  I then worked on the barn with sienna brown, some permanent alizarin, and some new gamboge as well as cobalt on the roof (a little bit).

The acrylic barn - I added the barn on top of the trees by using transfer paper and then painting it.  I used 4 'colors' - brown, light brown, dark brown and white.  Pay attention to the values - we will add more color later.

Colored pencil barn - I worked on the barn using sienna brown, dark brown, true blue, and magenta (and a little cream).  I started adding some dark values in the trees (dark green).  It has a long way to go...

The colored pencil drawing.  I shaded the barn and trees and used Turpnoid to melt it all for the 'underpainting.'  The next step is to shade the values, color, and details.

The acrylic barn painting.  I first painted the sky a gradation from dark (at the top) to lighter towards the bottom.  After that dried I added the grass and tree backgrounds.  We will transfer the barn next and start adding details to the trees and grass.  This is the 'underpainting.'

The watercolor barn painting.  I removed the masking fluid and rubber cement.  I started working on the trees behind the barn, re-edging the barn and working on the 'sky holes' to make them look more natural.  I will need to re-transfer the details of the barn as I lost most of it.

This is the start of the acrylic barn painting - this may be my best work yet...  (we will start the acrylic project next week).

This is the start to the watercolor barn painting.  Here are the steps: 1. transfer the drawing, 2. mask the barn and the tree limbs (I used masking fluid and rubber cement) and let dry, 3. wet the paper and do a blue wash for the sky and sky holes (I used cobalt) and let dry, 4. mask the 'sky holes' and let dry, 5. wet and paint the trees and grass areas (I used sap green, cobalt blue & aureolin yellow mixed, cobaly blue, indigo blue, new gamboge yellow, and alizarin crimson).

This is the start to the colored pencil barn painting.  I transferred the drawing and shaded the sky and 'sky holes' with true blue, indigo, and cloud blue.  I then melted the pencil using Turpenoid (odorless turpentine).
