I am most proud of this painting. I am very happy with how the greenery turned out, with depth, highlights, and paint splatter. I think it leads the eye along the track and to the vanishing point. The two trees are well-defined and pop out. I like how natural the sky looks, and I think the spread of the paint captures the cloudy sky well. The highlights on the train tracks make it have dimension and pop out as well. I am very happy with the details of this painting, and I think it looks very similar to the inspiration photograph.
Looking Ahead...
Looking ahead, I would like to take Advanced Drawing & Painting. I will also use all of the techniques that I learned during this semester in future at-home projects. If I did this class again, I would want to practice acrylic technique more, create more expression/emotion in my portraits, and spend more time on drawing still-lifes and perfecting them. I would love to take more art classes in the future and continue to expand my art knowledge!
