CAS Blog - Oil Painting - January 2021 - Creativity - LO1
John Mazziotti Dr. Lee CAS January 25th, 2021 CAS Blog - Oil Painting - Creativity - LO1 On January 25th, I decided to try out oil painting for the first time! For all of my life, I have always seen my father produce many oil paintings, but I had never created any entirely on my own. Luckily, my father gifted them to me over Christmas 2020, and I was able to channel my creative energy into something completely new. -In this picture, I am just learning how to mix oil paints, add additional oil for lighter colors, and what brushes to use. -The painting I am working on is actually based off of a picture that I took on the beach. The picture I used is also very similar to other posts that I have made. Overall, I found a new medium in visual art to help grow my capabilities in this field. Not only did I have a great time painting, but I also now know greater knowledge about oil paints and other strategies found in this activity.
