Sophia Hovey "Big Banana"

20x16, Painting, 2023

First I picked out a canvas to start painting on, then started sketching out the banana. Next, I got a few different paintbrushes and painted the inside of the outline of the banana white. Then, I after the white paint dried I started to paint it yellow I mixed a lot of different yellows and white to make the color look right. After that, I did the shading and added the brown to the stem of the banana. Finally, for the background I used a paint marker and put little white dots all over the canvas. Something I like about this project would be how the banana turned out because I think I did a pretty good job on it. Something I struggled with on this project would be the white dots all around the background because it took me a really long time to do and I kept messing up on some of them and I also smeared a lot of them too. Something I dislike about this painting would definitely be the dots because some of them are big and then some are small and some of them are lines and there is a lot of smeared ones also.
