I enjoyed the afternoon we spent at Emirates Palace. Khaldoun Daouds' paintings were very abstract and were interesting because of the way he used a variety of different colours. Mostly, he used a lot of dark colours with some areas of very bright colour which I thought was effective but the dark colours made the painting look dull.

The part where we sat outside in the garden and painted on the cardboard, we were given was fun. We already had yellow/blue/green painted on but we were then asked to use black to add more to the painting.

Afterwards, Khaldoun used his hands with some red acrylic to add to what we had done previously. I think the black was too dark a colour to use but I did like the idea of using my hands to paint with instead of just paint brushes. I may use that idea in my own artwork sometime.
