This piece took a while. The image I was working off of was incredibly detailed, and I wanted my work to reflect that detail. This becomes especially tricky when working with watercolors. Unless you have found your style and are able to approach a watercolor piece quickly and confidently, it can be very difficult and tedious to try and make the work realistic. I struggled with this, and while I still think the nature of the image would be best reflected in watercolor, I think I might have been more satisfied with oil or acrylic paint or even a form of drawing as I would have been able to control the paint easier. If I were to redo any particular part of the piece, it would be the angles of the canopy which I think were very unrealistic, and possibly the sky and water. Regardless, I was still able to make a piece that I loved. I really like how the chairs and buildings turned out, and I would even consider painting this image again with a different kind of paint and maybe even from a different angle (a new perspective on the view). Making this taught me a lot about watercolors, which I rarely use for landscapes. It also taught me that it drives me crazy when proportions aren't realistic.
