These were good exercises and it was also nice to do something hands on. I really liked that it was a nice intro. I didn't feel overwhelmed with it due to a lack of experience with either medium so it was fun rather than stressful.
2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?
I thought, initially, that I would enjoy working with the acrylics better. I've recently been doing small paintings on my own time just to experiment and try something new but after the exercises I enjoyed the pencil work more. I usually get very frustrated with that medium but this was just enough to help me hone my skills a bit without overwhelming me or frustrating me.
3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?
The pencil is build-able, layer upon layer, just like value. These studies actually helped me understand subtractive color theory. I read it a few times but this exercise put everything together for me. Also, the comparison with the 10 square value study helped solidify everything we had been discussing.
4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
Personally, I learned the most from the value video. I learned that patience (something I lack in pretty much every way unfortunately) is key but also watching someone else do this with small circular motions rather than the usual long straight markings i try to use makes everything blend much nicer and builds up color more evenly. The videos went perfectly with each study.
