The painting I made using tempura water colors is labeled Spooky Trees. A variety of different contrasting colors that are not found in nature but still give the impression of colors that are. The trees are blue, getting lighter the farther back they go, and darker the closer they are until finally the closest tree is completely black. The colorful dots along the tree show the form of the trunk and branches as well as direct the flow of light along the shapes. By looking as the orange and pinks of the sky in the background, one can assume the sun is low and able to cast much light across the lower part of the tree.

For my portrait of ink and dip pen, I chose to do a flower. I used thicker lines for the shape of the petals and crosshatching for the shadows beneath and around each one. Since the ink is dark, the only way to show the lighter parts of the image was to leave them blank. The shadows and blank space to show the darks and lights of the image. For the open place that isn't flower, I colored with sharpie so it wasn't just empty space.
