  6. Francisca Paz’s Descriptive Writing In Renoir’s painting In the Meadow, he painted two girls that are wearing beautiful, long, light -colored dresses. You can even see vertical lines in the trees. The soft colors he use gives a calm relaxed mood to his painting. He uses feathery strokes giving a soft texture to his painting. The scenery is somewhere in the woods and once again in the trees and in the grass we see his use of light colors with the soft browns and greens. ’

One day they saw a sandstorm coming in Egypt so they left with all their jewels and precious stuff. The servant saw that they were gone, so he went to go warn the other people that they left on a long walk from Egypt. They went to go write on the wall in their kind of writing that the king had left on a long journey and the king was going in the wrong direction. (continued…)
