My Favorite Thing

By:  Breanna Wines

Mr. Achor’s Homeroom

     I love drawing and painting pictures because they look so wonderful when I finish them.

     The first thing I do is make an outline of the picture I want to paint.  Sometimes, I change my mind after I start outlining, and draw a different picture.  I might even draw squiggly lines, or loopy lines, or even bumpy lines to see what kind of shape appears on my page. 

     Next, I get my paints and colors out of my supply closet in my room.  When I open the door, the smell of paints fills my mind.  There are all kids of paints for me to choose from.  I have watercolors, oils, pastels and a real sloppy paint, acrylic, that I can’t usually paint with.  Occasionally, I use colored pencils, pens and crayons to create my pictures.

     Blue is usually the color I pick to use first, because it is my favorite color.  But I think that aquamarine is the prettiest color in the world of drawing or painting.  Most of my paintings are made using watercolor, because they make a painting so bright and glistening.

     Then, I start testing my colors or paints on blank paper to create the intensity of the colors I want to use.  Once in a while I leave my paints out, and they dry up.  That is another reason I use watercolors so much.  They are supposed to dry up.  This lets me know if I need to use more blue, or purple, or red.  I use these three colors a lot.

     Last, I draw my final picture and paint it.  Roses and all sorts of flowers are something I like to paint.  Painting is so fun.  I enjoy it so much, that even when I finish one, I want to draw and paint another.  There is a blue rose I painted that is one of my favorites.

     Truly, drawing and painting is something I love to spend my time doing.
