  29. So…. what are we gonna do?

  30. We are going to do large oil pastel drawing of a flower/s, using a grid to increase our observation and drawing skills.

  31. Then we are going to do an abstract watercolor landscape painting that focuses on the movement and colors of the landscape more than the actual details.

  32. This project has two very different parts: one that focuses on really seeing every detail and line, and another that focuses on eliminating the details and enhancing the colors and emotions.Why would we do this?
