Free Choice Painting: In this painting I played with different finishes of acrylic paint and worked on how to make it super realistic. I learned to use the paint extender and used it to make the bubbles shiny (even though the bottle said matte finish). One thing I would do differently would be adding more depth so it doesn't look as 2D and boring.
Mixed Compliments Painting: This was by far the hardest project for me to do because of how hard the colors were to blend. To give off a gradient effect, I had to do many layers and stipple the colors together which was very difficult because it would turn into a brownish color which wasn't what I was trying to achieve. One thing I would change is how dark the background is. I would like to try with a lighter background and a brighter/darker foreground.
Still Life Painting: In this painting, I really worked on shadowing. It was very difficult since acrylic paint is not easy to blend. I am happy with how the hydro flask turned out but if I were to redo this painting I would do a completely different background because the one now takes away from the water bottle.
