I enjoyed doing the background because the different colors in the sunset were fun to blend. As Charlie Puth once said, “It’s been a long day without you my friend, but I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again. We’ve come a long way from where we began, but I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again.”

I enjoyed contrasting the lights to the darks in this painting. While I did not enjoy the fact that the paint does not dry quick, it was simpler to blend the paint together. I like the small pops of color the ends of the flower petals have. Also, I found it simpler to add the shadows to the flower but found it more difficult to add the highlights and shadows to the leaves above the flower.

It was challenging for me to figure out how to add texture to the elephant’s skin. I did many small dots of different darks, lights, and some blues to make it seem real. In addition to that, I liked doing the toenails because the highlights and shadows were different in the way that they were not in a specific pattern/shape.

Acrylic Landscape

I started with painting the mountains and then painted the trees, then the water and then the boat. I think I painted the mountains in the background well. That was my favorite part of the painting because I got to use a pallete knife. I had never used one to paint with before.

Shading each individual grape was difficult and time consuming because I had to make sure I could see both the lights and darks in each grape. Once I added the vine, the grapes looked more real. The highlights in the bowl were also difficult for me to do. Overall, I enjoyed this painting.

I applied multiple layers to the ground and the palm trees. I had to use different colors for the ground so I could differentiate between the lights in the sand and the dark browns in the sand. I enjoyed this process because this painting was more fun for me. My favorite part of this painting was doing the palm trees because those were something I had never done in detail like I did.

In this image I had to make my highlights and shadows very light and dark to make the object look 3D. I also had to be aware of the shadows with the leaves over the paint tubes and the paint tubes overlapping each other. I chose to use the yellow flower because I thought I thought the yellow would pop if it was next to two duller colors.

I used many warm colors as my shapes so for the ground I used more of a cool color to make the warms stand out. I enjoy water color because I think the colors are pretty when I first put on a light layer. I have a difficult time making sure you can’t see where I stopped and started each stroke because of the quickly drying paint.
