I developed my art making skills.
I chose to do a still life for the Artists observe project. The medium was acrylic, which is what i have been painting with for a few years. Even though i have the most experience with acrylics, there is still a lot of techniques i had to learn for the project. For the candles, i had to learn a lot about painting light, and how to show the light from the candles correctly. This also helped me gain skills with the materials i am already familiar with. I had the idea for the candles because my group brainstormed and someone suggested candles. I thought it would be interesting but challenging to paint, because even though they are white candles, the light from the fire changes the color of them. The still life turned out how i wanted it too, and i really enjoyed the project!
