painting in progress finished piece most helpful warmupThe most helpful warmup in my opinion was the acrylic painting sphere. This is because we had already done the sphere with charcoal but doing it with paint was a whole new aspect. This is because with charcoal it was easy to fade and make shadows but with paint it was challenging. Over time I got the hang of it and this warmup helped me a lot with my piece. placeThe place that I am representing in my piece is the harbor at pine knoll shores. This was over the summer and I went to the beach with my friends. It was so much fun and such a great memory, that special and beautiful night with the sunset is what I like to think of every time I see that photo and that is what I wanted to capture in my piece. most challengingThe most challenging part of my piece in my opinion was the water. This is because of 2 aspects, the color of the water and the way the light reflects off of it. The picture I took was right when the sun was setting so part of the water was light and shimmery because the sun was reflecting off of it and it was so detailed to it was hard to recreate. The color was hard because I had to mix so many different greys and blues to get it just right. most successfulI feel the most successful part of my piece was the sunset. This is because of the way each color faded into each other made the painting look realistic. I also redid the sunset 3 times to get it just right and I feel as though I captured it well and I'm happy with the way it turned out. processI started off my piece with the sunset and the water. After I let those dry, I continued with the objects like the trees and village, as well as the boats. The boats was a little bit of a struggle because my painting looked so real and the boats made it look cartoon, so that is the only thing I don't like about my painting. Once I finished the boats I touched everything up by using tape along the straight edges.
