This week for genius hour I painted a sunflower on tin. It didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would, which was great. This painting only took me about an hour. I don't know if it was because it was just a really easy painting, or I am just getting the hang of painting sunflowers. In order to start painting on the tin, I had my dad fix the edges of it so I couldn't get cut while painting on it. Next I looked up the tutorial that I wanted to use. The lady doing the tutorial has a super cool website called step-by-step painting. She has about 4 dozen tutorials on her site and on YouTube. She walks through the painting process effortlessly and I will be using her tutorials again. Her name is Tracie Kiernan. It is also pretty neat how she has all of her tutorials organized by the seasons. I started the sunflower by painting the black seed thing in the middle. Then I painted the petals. I went back over the petals and add highlights and shadows. This parts is becoming easier and easier to do. Then I added some seeds to the middle of the sunflower with white, black, reddish-brown and orange. That was the end of the painting process. I glued some string to the back of the tin so it can be hung on the wall. Since this painting was so easy, next week I am going to work on something other than painting. I might do some paper mache, graffiti or something else that I have never tried before. I will also be posting the horse picture that I finished last week on the slideshow. The sunflower picture will be posted too. I might do something different next week but I also need to paint more for my Etsy page. I am thinking about painting a pig next week and then posting that on Etsy, but I don't know because I need to try more stuff for genius hour.
