1. What watercolor techniques proved to be effective in your painting? How and Why?
The drybrush-technique was most effective in my painting. I needed that technique for the textures (grass, trees, etc.). I also like it to be strong and colorful. 2. How important was using transparent layers in your painting? It was not so good. I wanted my colors to be strong, which they now are, but it is not the “true-technique” of color painting. It may has fitted my clouds, because they are light. 3. Explain how your composition was successful? Did you utilize all the elements of art and principles of design? Explain. I think my composition was successful. I did use some elements of and principles of design. Surely, I could have been better of focus on that. I mostly thought that the painting would look as much as the original picture as possible. 4. Was color choice an important factor in the overall success of the painting? Why? The color choice was a very important factor in my painting. I really want that people should feel the same warmness as I do when I look at the picture. And to feel that they are standing in Swaziland. 5. Describe your craftsmanship. My craftmanship is a colorful landscape consisting of a broad plain that stretches to the shady mountain range. In the middle of the plain is an orange colored road stretched out. Above the mountain range is a clear blue cloudy sky. 6. If you were able to do something different what would it be and why? I would have changed the colors on the mountain range(again). I think the colors are too light. It does not fit for the dark-blue-green colors (shadow) on the mountains. I also wish that I had discovered the other blue color before I started to paint. Next time I will me more meticulous when picking colors. In that case, I think my result had been much better, because now my clouds look quite weird. I would also have been more careful when painting. Usually I had less water than I needed, which made the paper messed up. 7. Explain to me what you have learned about watercolor and how it has improved or discouraged your development in art. I have learned that it is very important to use the right amount of color and water. Otherwise, the whole painting destroys. After the project, I am now even better to mix colors. And I have an better eye to discover other color decisions and techniques. For example, I have realized that dark blue can work as a shadow. This is my result. I am not superduperhappy, but I still think I did a great job. It was much harder than I tought it should be, especially to found tha right colors to the mountains and to build the clouds. If I had discovered the other blue color, I believe that my result would have been better. I am most proud of the grass-road-area:) This was a really fun project!
In our first project we were supposed to paint a picture of our own with water colors. I decided to paint a picture of a landscape from Swaziland. We did not need to use the same colors, but I tried to make it exact as much as possible. I really love the colors in this picture, so I wanted to keep them. I decided already in the beginning that it would be too hard and detailed to draw my family, so I deleted them from the picture. But I kept the zebra and some buffalos.
I continued to start the painting process! I wanted to make the half of the picture as done as possible before I continued with the rest. I started to paint kind of the same shades I wanted to have in the end. I did this part, just to have a better perception on how the result would be and to see all the colors together. My process when I painted was to: Firts put some almost likely colors on the paper, put more likely colors, paint the darker parts, paint the lighter parts, shade, and lastly texture.

I did not discover the other blue color until the Friday, so that is one reason why I did not get the right colors. I did the same process as on the ground. On this picture I have just started to fill in the right part of the mountains the second time, and some of the trees. Personally, I think that this part in the painting process is the funniest. It is cool to see what diffrent shades can do.
Here we practiced and learned diffrent techniques for water color. It was fun to see the many diffrent things you can do with water colors!
The next part was to paint fruits with watercolors. We were supposed to make the same fruit four times, but with diffrent "moods/styles". I decided to make one warm apple(the red one). I think I am most happy with that one. But maybe that is because it has the most realistic colors.. To the next apple I used three diffrent colors in order, (the yellow one). I really like the colors and the leaf on that apple. It looks so smooth. My third apple is monochromatic, (the green apple). I am not so happy with that one. I used too little water that make the apples surface look really messy. My last apple has three diffrent random colors. My thought is that the blue color shows the apples dark sides, the red color shows the lighter parts of the apple, and the yellow/gold color is for the loaf. To show the darker parts of the loaf, I used less water and more color. In the process to create of all the apples, I firstly started with the dark/middle parts. Then I added the lighter parts, to later on shade "middle part" where needed. After the shading I continued to make the dark darker, and the lighter.
