Scenic Painting

In this course, I learned techniques like wet and dry brushing, sponging, blending, mixing paints, and highlighting and shadowing. These techniques were used to make different wood grains, brickwork, shadowing of shapes, river rocks, and ghost signs.

School: University of North Carolina Wilmington

This is the final project for the course. I used a combination of all of the techniques I learned over the whole semester. Spatter, sponging, wet and dry blending, and mixing paints.
