The strengths I have noticed in this painting is that, if I start with the light color better then get darker it makes the painting look better. The goals that I would like to try with this painting and other paintings are blending colors better, making the mountains better and making the birds more pop out and don’t make colors too dark. The skills that I have improved are putting the colors in the places that they would blend together well and putting the bottom color on first then working my way up. I'm still trying to work on getting better with blending the colors together and for my goals I want to try to improve on shading and blending more better.
