Phuong Thi Nguyen's watercolor learning experience:
In this class, I have learned to practice of mixing colors from the three primary colors red, blue and yellow. These three colors are change many different colors. Example, red with blue are turning purple, blue with yellow are turning green, yellow and red are turning orange and yellow with blue are turning gray. I am mixing with three primary colors. There are coming out with the big circle it is look like the rainbow. I think is look pretty.

Painting with my own house, I'm feeling great, because I sue my feeling when I'm painting my own house. When I come in to class, my professor said "hang homework on the wall" everyone is hanging on the wall and my professor gave comment of their houses. I went home and repainting. It's look nice more than before.

Painting the one color with value in different colors, how to use bright color and not bright color, warm and cool in the design composition. When I painting one color with value in different colors, I use less water and more less water there are coming out with the different colors. When I painting my picture, one thing I have learned is how to control the color. I have fun and enjoy when I am painting.
