I found it challenging to get in between the tight bits.

My favourite part is the paper tissue flowers in her hair.

About the artist (Tom Fedro)

Tom's real name is Thomas.

Tom lives and works in Wheeling which is just out of Chicago and he lives with his son Jordan.

He is an abstract / pop artist.

He owned his own art gallery but now he just sells to them.

His art sells from $400 - $6,000

What I enjoyed - I enjoyed the part when I did the eyes because I like to challenge myself.

What I found easy  - was the shading because all you do is add more white every time.

What I found tricky - I found it tricky to paint the outline black without going over my other colours.

What I would change next time is my reflection so that it is not the same.

The process I did was:  We had drawn a picture in pencil then we did our shading without going over the lines, then we coloured in the outline with black paint and then we did our eyes. Then we shaded the hair with colours making light to dark by adding white to colours to make them lighter. This inspired me because I like doing art and I liked the colours in this artists work.

 What I found challenging. To get the head in a perfect Oval

What I found interesting. I usually do shading most of the time but I actually found shading quite hard.

My favourite part. was my background because it matched my picture.

Te Kuri a Paoa

I found it challenging to go over the black lines  the first time I tried it looked like grey so I had to go for it Twice. You can read my reflection on the slides below.

colouring

I chose the colours because they were bright and colourful.

I chose the vase because it matches to me

I chose different shades for the leaves because that is what happens in real life.

I change the background because I like turquoise.

 Today I was learning two colour on your Chromebook. My new learning was decisions.

I enjoyed the flowers. I found it challenging to pick the colours.

Next time I would change colours.
