This is my practice acrylic picture for the Pakistan project. I did not select this medium because it was hard to blend the colors together and make it look realistic.

This is my practice picture using pencil. This was my favorite project because I found it the easiest to get color contrast with and it looked the most realistic to me.

This is my practice using colored pencil. This was my least favorite medium because I had a lot of trouble getting the right colors for the skin and blending them all together.

For my final Pakistan kid project I chose to use pencil. I was really happy with the way it turned out and this is my favorite pencil piece I have done so far. I also love the background I did.

For my first project of the year, I had to choose something that represents my personality. Two of my favorite things are tea and books, so I painted them using oil paints. This was the first time I have ever used oil paints, but I am happy with how it turned out.
