Nicole Brathwaite's watercolor learning experience:
The process of this second project was much different then my first watercolor painting in this course. I feel like I understand the difference between contrast (light and dark). I chose to draw an ice cream cone because it was pretty simple and it would also show a color variation between the ice cream and the cone. The ice cream is pink with many different shades to it. while the cone is between a yellow and light orange. The colors together are very complementary between one another, that's why I chose these particular colors.

Overall, I am satisfied with this particular project, the only thing I would change is adding a complete opposite color the the background so that cone can stand out more.
