Medium Exploration

The day I did this impressionist painting was a good day to sit out in the sun and enjoy the sunny weather. I picked a good place to do my painting. I started my impressionist painting by dabbing paint on my hand just to see what kind of technique I would be applying and how I was going to use my brushes. I took a long time to complete my painting, but I enjoyed doing every bit of it. Before i applied the paint on the paper, i would visualize how it would look each time. I wanted to apply the technique perfectly. I sat alone on the steps in front of the administrative office. I needed silence so that I could concentrate on my painting. I spent a lot of time understanding how everyone else was creating an impressionistic style painting. I also day dreamed a lot – about school, the book i was reading, mostly wondering if the painting would look like an impressionist painting.
