Elp #3

This week I have Splatter painted my drawing. But I have also decided and figured out that I am also going to do red mixed in with the blue.

One problem I had was that mister Ritter thought I was using too much paint. He decided that I needed to use less paint and more water.

I solved my problem by just listening to him. I also think that using the dark and light blue made it look really cool.

Today I think I am going to add the red. If I do it right I think this is going to turn out great.

Elp Project #2

This week I finished my drawing, I think it turned out really good. But I also I covered my entire drawing in masking tape so now I can start to paint my picture.

One Problem I had was trying to get the masking tape to cover up all of the drawing. Mostly because I had to rip the tame multiple times to get it to cover up my drawing.

I fixed this by Just tearing smaller and smaller pieces until they would work. After a long time I finally got my whole drawing covered.

Now I am going to paint my piece with multiple colors. Although I don't know exactly what colors I am going to use.



This is my finished drawing.

This is all the masking tape on my drawing.

Elp Project #1

I am going to be doing a painting on this large piece of paper. I am going to use the style of Jackson Pollock and use both splatter paint and drip on my drawing. This is what I am starting with.

A big problem I had was trying to get the letters in the similar style to the original logo. Like how big to make each letter and the right angle I need to write it in.

I fixed it just by trial and error, just trying over and over until it looks right. Eventually I got each letter to look right.

In conclusion I think my picture is going to look really cool. I still haven't decided how I am going to pain it, but I will figure that out when I get to it.


This is what I started with.

This is what I finished with.
