For this project, I decided to use a small canvas because I didn't think I would have time to paint on a big canvas. The original picture of this was taken in Alaska 2 summers ago. With this painting, I finally decided to learn from my past mistakes and start with the background. So I am really proud of myself for that, otherwise, I feel like the mountains in the painting wont look as good. I also really love the yellow I put in the mountain on the right. It makes the trees seem like they really have a light shining on them. Also, Ms. Rossi told me to add some shadows under the buildings, and I am glad that I did because now they look even more realistic. If there was anything for me to go back and change, I would put more detail into some of the buildings. Like a window or some doors. I would also add in some cars into the painting. There were some cars in the original picture but I was afraid of messing up the painting with a tiny car on such a small canvas. I could even work on the clouds some more, to me, they just do not seem that realistic.
