10x10, Realism, 2025

My process was a lot of back and forth trying to make the most realistic touches. I wanted to challenge myself and do something different than I usually. I started ny lining all of the swans and water into the spots. I then went and started painting. This painting was inspired by something I had saw on pinterest.  I didn't use any specific techniques, I just used lots of shading and highlights to bring my painting to life. The artwork does not have a meaning it was simply a painting that I could paint to challenge myself. The most difficult part was definatly the swans. I really tried to make the swans highlighting and shading look as most realistic as possible. Another tough part of the painting was the water. It was hard to make the water look realistic as well. This painting is realism. Its specific to my style because I like to do lots of realism.
