Acrylic Painting

We gathered pictures from the internet, magazines, and other sources to use as our background, midground, and foreground for our acrylic paintings.  The purpose of having a background, midground, and foreground is to create balance for the painting.

We first practiced creating different shades and tints using primary and secondary colors, also mixing other colors to create different colors.  The purpose of this was to be familiar with creating different kinds of colors and use them on our acrylic paintings.

We enjoyed a lot on this project.  Perhaps the only difficult part was trying to get the desired colors we wanted and making our paintings look realistic with combinations of shadows, shades, and tints.  Also, when attempting to paint an animal or a human, that was also difficult as well. After that, our paintings turned out like this:

After finishing this project, we gained skills of learning how to make acrylic paintings and how to make them look realistic.  If I were to do this again, I would take myself to the challenge.  My next acrylic painting should be a magical forest as my background (filled with many trees), a small waterfall as my midground, and an elf/fairy as my foreground.
