The Artist just wanted to paint his friend as a thanks to him.

Picasso used abstract art to display his emotion through the artwork.

The Artist wanted the audience to pay attention more to the subject he was painting as it was his friend. That was also why the Artist did not add things to the background.

I would like to know why Picasso likes to use oil on canvas to paint.

I would like to keep everything on this painting as I think that it looks very nice.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PRINTMAKING (SILKSCREEN PRINTING) AND PAINTING? WHICH DO YOU PREFER AND WHY?
My Reflections:
When you do printmaking, you do not need to be very creative and think of what to do as you just need to follow the steps the teachers tell you to do however for painting, you have to be more creative and think of what you want to paint and mix the different colours to form the skin tone you want. For me, I prefer printmaking as I think that it is easier and I think that painting is very hard as it is very hard to get the skin colour tone that you want and paint it evenly.
HOW WOULD I LIKE TO IMPROVE MY WORK IF I WERE DO MY SILKSCREEN OR PAINTING AGAIN? PLS SPECIFY ONE TYPE.
My Reflections:
I would like to have more time to paint the painting as I could not really find a perfect tone and whenever we stop because we have to go to the next lesson and I leave the paint to dry, the next lesson, my paper becomes very thick full of the layers of paint that I put on it last lesson.
