3. The Little Female Worker
The artist of this picture” The Little Female Worker” is Helen
McNicoll. This art is done in 1907. There are both warm and cold
colors in this picture. The pictures represents a windy day in
summer because the grass is yellow and the girl’s dress is moving
toward one side. When I look at the picture I feel tired and warm.
The reason to this is that the girl in the picture is working really
hard in a warm day in summer. The subject of this picture is
landscape. This picture has drawn with oil on canvas. It sold to Art
Gallery Of Ontario on 1983. In my opinion this picture is pretty
good and interesting, because I can feel like the person in the
picture also I like the bright colors (yellow, white, green) used in
the picture..
4. Fishing
This picture “Fishing” is by Helen McNicoll. The subject of this
picture is nature. It has been drawn with oil on canvas on 1907.
There are both cold and warm colors in this picture. It looks like it’s
a sunny day in spring. It looks that the weather is hot and the girls
are sitting in the shade fishing for food. The girls look lonely
because there’re young and no adult is with them. I feel lonely
when I look at this picture, although there’re are two girls in the
picture. They look like sisters who don’t have any family. In my
opinion this picture is really beautiful and it seems McNicoll have
spent a lot of time painting the sun reflection on the water and
grass and tree’s leaves. I also like that she used green, brown and
yellow in the picture, because when look at the picture it feels
calm and nothing really stands out (except the two person. I’m
talking about the nature around them).
5. LAWREN HARRIS

Morning, Lake Superior is by Lawren Harris a Canadian
famous painter. It was drawn in 1921 by oil on canvas. The
subject of this picture is Canadian Landscape. There are both
cold and warm color in this picture but mostly cold ”blue”.
The picture is really peaceful. When I look at this picture I feel
calm. I like how there’s a blanket of snow on the mountains
and in front sun reflection on the water, The picture looks
great. It doesn’t really look real but it looks like you can walk
into the picture. In my opinion, this picture is wonderful and
looks really peaceful because of the both bright and dark
colors used in the picture. I don’t really know what the blue
layers at the back of the picture e is, but in my opinion it
makes the picture look more interesting and beautiful.
7. This painting has been drawn by Lawren Harris on 1930
on beaverboard with oil. The subject of this painting is
landscapes of the North Canada. This picture had both
warm and cold colors. There’re shades on some parts of
the mountain and clouds. The picture makes me feel sad
and lonely because the colors used in the picture are
mostly dark. Although I don’t feel good while looking at
this picture, I think the picture is really beautiful. I like
how Lawren Harris painted shades in some parts of the
picture. I like the whole picture, but when you look at
each separate part of the picture separately, it doesn’t
really look good. I think the dark colour of the sea doesn’t
match the color (brown) of the mountain.
8. ROBERT BATEMAN

artist who draws animals. The
style of his drawing is texture.
The textures that he uses in his

realistic. Robert Bateman was

9. Russian Brown Bear
This picture ”Russian Brown Bear” is painted by Robert
Bateman. This picture has been drawn by Acrylic on
canvas. The subject of this painting is Wild Animals. This
picture has both cold and warm colors. It looks really
realistic. The texture of the bear’s fur and the water
causes the picture to look like a photograph. When I
look at this picture, it looks the bear is looking to me. I
think this picture is really cool. In my opinion this
painting is great and I think Robert Bateman had spent a
lot of time drawing the texture to make the picture look
real. (I really like the texture of this picture how he drew
the bear’s skin and water.)
10. Walrus At Svalbard
This picture “Walrus At Svalbard is a really realistic
drawing by Robert Bateman. This picture is drawn by
Acrylic on canvas. The subject of this picture is also Wild
Animals. As mentioned Robert Bateman’s style of
drawing is texture. His textures are incredible. This
picture looks real. It looks like I can touch the animal’s
skin. I was shocked that this is a drawing. This picture
includes both cold and warm colors. In my opinion this
picture is really interesting because of its texture. The
Layers of colors used on animal skin and how accurately
Robert Bateman drew each part of this picture is
amazing. It’s like a photograph.
