Artist statement- The top image is the new one and the bottom is the original. I made the same painting again and tried to make it better. I did that by making the ocean seem more realistic because I felt like thats what I struggled on the most. I did that by using a little extra water to make the blue and white mix and flow together. I also used a different color for the sand to make it look more like actual sand. It was a gold color instead of a brown. I also feel like the sky is more blended. I know I worked a lot on that over the semester since I did a couple painting with skys. I also think its brighter and easier to look at. I also think I did a better job on the reflection of the sun because its brighter. I used red, orange, yellow, blue, white, and gold paint to create this painting. Overall, I believe I did better on the new one because of the better blending and color usage.
