![]() This week for Genius Hour, I decided to paint a horse. This painting has three parts so it will take me much longer to complete than my previous genius hour projects. I plan on giving it to my sister for her birthday because she loves horses. I went on YouTube and searched for one that would work for me. I also watched a quick tutorial on how to make paintings easier and less time-consuming. I decided on a horse painting by Allison Prior that is for beginners and only requires three colors. I have not been able to go to the store and buy more art supplies. So, I went to a thrift store last week and bought a huge piece of paper for fifty cents! I think it is thick enough to paint on without it tearing. I gathered the materials and watched the video a couple of times because it looked very challenging. I gathered a number two pencil, five paintbrushes, three bottles of paint and some newspaper to keep the paint from ruining the table. Since the paper was so big, I had to clear off the kitchen table to be able to draw the outline the horse. The tutorial on painting tips told me that outlining it first makes the painting much easier. Below is a picture of my horse outline and a link to the YouTube tutorial by Allison Prior. I had to draw out my outline while the lady on the tutorial had a smaller piece of paper so she could print off the outline and trace it. The picture horse picture posted above is what the final product should look like.This painting is more complex than the other pieces I have tried to do before. And since it is a gift, I don´t want it to be bad. I plan on painting this weekend to clear my mind.
