Assignment 19: Katie Chen

I consider myself an artist. I'm also pretty messy when it comes to creating art. So that means when I'm painting I tend to rush and work fast. As I was working on an oil piece I accidentally reached for red instead of blue for the sky. Without paying attention to what my brush just dipped in to, I immediately applied the red paint to the sky. I then realized I had made a huge mistake. What started as cool, serene painting now had a large blob of red in the sky. Thinking that I had ruined the painting, I got ready to start over. My art teacher told me to continue with the red and add more vibrant colors to it, instead of just starting on a new painting. So I added yellow and orange and turned the tranquil scene into a dramatic, dynamic piece. This painting is one of my favorites. If my teacher hadn't told me to continue, even if I had made a mistake, I wouldn't have created that painting.
