For the final project on space, I painted a saltwater fish in a goldfish tank with watercolor paints. I thought it would look interesting and out of place with the freshwater fish. The project I chose was "realistic space," and I think I did as best as I could at the level I'm on now to make the picture look as real as possible. The background was the hardest, because for some reason, certain areas wouldn't let the paint stick. First I used watercolors, and when those didn't work, I used acrylics, but the acrylics didn't work well on top of the watercolors. I think I might have wet my brush too much originally. I learned how to shade with paint this week. To make the yellow on the bottom fin look shadowy, I mixed purple in with the yellow. I also used green with the pink for the same purpose. I really liked doing the goldfish. I think they were the most fun, and ended up looking pretty good.
