Slice

I have finally painted the slice!  Well...so far.  Once you watch the video you can see I get a little confused and I tried to cut out the bits where I got frustrated.  I started off painting it without really knowing how I wanted it to come out and you can tell.  I had to do some major problem solving throughout the video.  I do plan on going back into it this week.  But no worries I will just give an update in the next video about what I did instead of prolonging the completion of the painting.  What happened was I layered on too much paint and it just got muddy.  I kept changing my mind and instead of scraping off paint, I kept layering on more.  That is the downfall to painting thickly.  You make a muddy mess.  I plan on getting all problems solved before the next video installment.

In the video I give some vocabulary for you to learn.  Hue, Shade and Tint.  Here are the definitions according to Merriam-Webster online dictionary:

Hue: a color or a shade of a color

Shade: a darkened area in a drawing, painting

Tint: variation of a color produced by adding white to it

So, if you ever hear me talking about a "hue" know I am just meaning a color.  If you ever hear me talking about a "shade" or a color, it is that color+black mixed in.  And finally, if you hear me say "tint" I am talking about that color+white mixed in.

I hope that helped clarify it for you.  Sorry that the video was cut a lot because of my frustration.  But you will find that happens when you paint...you get frustrated that the painting is not working out.  Those are the moments you just need to walk away and come back later.  At least, that is what works for me.  I hope you enjoy the video and look forward to next week when we FINALLY finish the painting! YAY!  I will now leave you with a picture of an orange....all this talk about oranges makes me want one.  Take care!
