Create a small collage using shades and tints of different colors and explain how they blend together.
My collage experiment involved shades and tints of blue. I used magazine cutouts in navy, sky blue and pastel shades. The dark blue areas added depth, while the lighter tints brightened the composition. Blending them together created a seamless transition between elements. The varying tones added moRead more

I experimented with watercolors by adding white to blue, creating soft sky-like tints. Adding black to red resulted in rich, deep shades. These variations enhanced my painting’s depth, making foreground elements brighter and background elements darker. This contrast created a sense of realism. By usRead more
