My "landscape" painting assignment was definitely an experience. Not finding an interesting place on campus, Emma, Anne and I ventured to a new location that I had found which contained a more complicated landscape (in hindsight... not my best idea.)
I have never been a person to do art quickly, and this was no exception. Though one of my goals for the year is to be able to work quicker. I would love to be able to paint a landscape in less time. I have yet to finish my painting... that's been going on for a week... and I'm not even close.
The parts of my painting I did finish I worked on pretty hard and am proud of my effort, but the actual product is less impressive. I liked painting in watercolor, but I chose to paint with a small brush and paint very detailed, causing me not to finish. I clearly need to take a better approach next time, but overall: good learning experience.
Three Things I Did Well:
1. gained experience with watercolor
2. good composition
3. background wash of color - SO HELPFUL!
Three Things I Need to Improve:
1. speed
2. less detail originally
3. depth
