This is a landscape that was done with acrylic paint, and was intended to show all of the values and colors in a landscape. One skill that I really tried to work on while doing this painting is adding highlights and shadows to the trees in different areas so that they truly look 3-Dimensional instead of flat and stiff. Of all of the design elements this painting uses value the most, because I tried to capture each individual value by mixing the paints to get just the right shadow or color. The value also helped to show the distance in the painting, and make it look more natural. I worked hard on this painting, and on top of the value and 3D look it has, it also shows my take on nature and how I see this landscape when I look at it, making it a very original painting.
This drawing is made up of multiple, odd shaped boxes that each have three vanishing points, and appear to be in bird's eye view. While doing this project I learned that it is important to always draw lines as light as possible at first and then darken them at the end. This helps leave less line marks and in the end the bold lines really make the shapes pop. Out of the design elements the one I used most in this drawing would be space. This element really helps to show the distance between the boxes and how they fade back into the distance. As I finished this drawing these two things really helped me create a 3-dimesional drawing that has clean and sharp lines throughout.
