Caesar Muwowo's watercolor learning experience:
What I have learned so far in the class is how to mix colors even though I am still in the process of mastering that side of my skill. I am kind of finding really will be a bit of a challenge. I could have an idea in my mind but sometimes since I am used to using pencil I am still taking baby steps when it comes to transferring that picture I have I my head to a color picture, but I am very confident.

I was also intrigued by the yellow rose video online that has also teaches how to use two different colors but also how much intensity in terms how much pressure should be applied to a canvas in order to get different color intensities. I have also realized over the couple of weeks that light and shadows are really important in capturing the picture. I have decided to go back and do the yellow rose, I must I had a mixed feelings when I started painting it. It was a feeling of excitement and also a sense of accomplishment. I plan on showing you what I have done so far since am playing catch up so that I can get your opinion on were I need to improve.
