Painting workshop day 3 *the other day wasn't official workshop day*.
Today I learned a way that you can bring out what you want people to see in your painting. You darken the lines around the area you want the eye to be drawn to.

Today I first started with the picture from the packet from the Charlie Chaplin movie, since I was playing around after the movie and drew the shapes of the image of the tramp and the flower girl. I liked the result, but I tried doing the same thing on the painting, and was having a harder time...

I used another reference of Charlie Chaplin, and I did better. I was having trouble getting the eyes down, but Luke showed me how to whip it out.
When I got to the point of playing around it the colors and thickness of the paint, I had a little trouble. I usually like painting smoothly instead of globbing it on, but it's another way of doing things, so I might as well try it out.

-random bullet: ...The paint feels neat. I was trying to take some off (it was blending too much in a spot I wanted white) and it was squishy~
