This is appealing to me because I love how the artist used streaks of colors, not even mixed together, just streaks of different colors and it looks amazing. If I do landscape, I want to use this artists technique.

This appeals to me because of the colors the artist used. they were blended to nicely and it looks so real. I want mine to look as real as this.

I am going to do 2 thumbnail sketches in order to practice with materials and get used to them

# data[].attributes.body
1. Find a photo of out my camera roll to use
2. get supplies (scrap paper, drawing paper, variety of oil pastels)
3. do 2 thumbnails (one of dogs, one of sunset) and get good practice in with materials and different techniques
4. Tape the edges to create a white border and more satisfying appearance
5. start the painting and take my time while doing so
