For this painting the goal was to take a normal landscape photo and paint it using arbitrary colors, or random colors that wouldn't usually be associated with a landscape. To create this I used pinks and purples for the sky and clouds, added more green to the water, and added bright reds and oranges to the trees. All of these different colors helped to achieve the overall effect. The main art element in this painting would be value, because each of the values mixed with the paints helps to make the image look more 3D. The different values of each color in the water, the trees, and the mountain make it more obvious where everything is located in the image and that is one of the most important things. While working on this painting a skill that I practiced was using multiple brushes to get different textures or lines. I have a tendency to use one or two brushes for the whole painting. but I really tried to use smaller brushes for the small details and larger, smooth brushes for the background and main areas. The finished painting is one of the most detailed and vibrant paintings that I have created, and it really looks exciting and bright as a finished product.
