This is from a picture of Flagstaff, Arizona!! I used this piece to go towards my concentration collection because It goes with the idea of Arizonas ruggedness. I really enjoyed the colors in the road and the shadows casting on top of the road and side dirt. I also really like the blues and purple on the mountains contrasting with the tan on the lower part of the mountains. I struggled with the trees because there were so many that really started to smear all on top of each other. I think if I used a smaller brush and painted more carefully that they wouldn't smear a lot and they would look really good on top of each other. In the future I would like to paint this piece using more yellows and oranges to brighten it up but with watercolor you cant go back and lighten pieces up so I would have to restart to change it. Overall I think that this piece has a lot of potential for being something great but I need to redue it to make it better. |
