Venus & Feline (Finished)

Hey, it's you again. Welcome back to Briana Carter's weekly blog. This week's newest addition is a piece called 'Venus & Feline'. This week I've made another painting out of acyrillic paints. The painting was quite simple, I first had to find and then sand new wooden canvas, then I outlined the piece with pencil then I painted the outline and added details. 
Something that went really well for me in this piece was mixing the primary and secondary colors to get the new vibrant colors I have in the piece. I really like how the outline came out, it sort of came out how I imagined in my head but with less details. I also admire my weird creativity in this piece, I've gotten asked, "Why an alien and a cat?" Well because I was thinking of my cat, Tyson, and I pictured my weird self holding him.
A part in this piece that I struggled with was putting my mind onto the canvas, to visualize what I was thinking. Trying to show others what you are thinking is a major struggle for me because I have a very different mind. But thankfully I was able to put my thoughts onto my canvas this week. 
I think I did well this week. I came into class and hot straight to work, even when I was upset I still stayed on task. I wasn't distracted by others or my phone during the period. I picked an okay project for this week, it wasn't extremely challenging but I definitely struggled through some points of this piece.

Welcome back Briana the Barbie's weekly blog, I know it's been a long while since I've posted about one of my beautiful creations but now I am back at it and no more waiting. This week I've started a piece of a garden of flowers. I chose flowers simply because I love flowers and when I'm mad they calm me down. First, I picked out of wooden canvas and used a brand new saw that Room 13 got. Once I got the perfect size, I picked up a pencil and started to sketch all sizes and types of flowers.  Something about this project that went really well was using the new saw. I definitely liked the new saw better instead of the old saw because it was way more easier to use. And I didn't need my teacher's, Amy, help that much. One part of the project that was a struggle was drawing different types of flowers. I only know how to sketch tulips and the little white garnish flowers that they be putting on the corsage for girls for prom. Also, I would say making the

The artist was born in Florence, Republic of Florence, also know today as Italy. The artist died in 1510.He has been producing artwork since the 1470s though probably earlier than that because some of his artwork was not dated.

Giving Birth to my World (Finished)

Hey it's me, your favorite blogger, Briana Carter. Welcome back to my first FINISHED piece, this week in Room 13 I was able to complete this piece. So, this week my exact plans for this didn't go exactly as planned, instead of spray painting the cotton balls I ended up using black pom poms. I cut the pom poms in half, then hot glued them on my canvas, then I added purple glitter to her hair just to add some "spice". Gluing on the pom poms as her hair went surprising well, I wish she had the 4c hair texture but the pom poms make it look like she got 4c hair blow dried out lol. I also just the overall look of my finished piece and I'm content with it. The only struggle was putting the glitter in her hair. I used black paint over the black pom poms to act as adhesive for the glitter, and I hated it. Then, I got a suggestion from my advisor and she had me brush out the paint over the pom poms, and it came out great. This week in class I just focused on her hair a
