For this piece of artwork, I used summer as my source of inspiration. The movie "Grease" and the beach made me think to paint this. That rock/cliff was inspired by the movie "Grease" because that is where Sandy and Danny fell in love, at the beach. And that area had those kinds of big rocks around. New technique and processes that I learned were how to blend colors. I learned what primary, secondary, and tertiary colors were. As well as many other mixes of colors. I gained skills by learning what happens when you mix certain colors. I also learned that acrylic paint will not wash out in clothing. The biggest risk for me was to paint the big rock because I was so scared that I was going to mess it up since I had painted the sky and the ocean so well. But I painted it and at first I was still unsure of what it looked like but after tips from my classmates and teacher, I was able to make it more realistic looking. By asking for feedback, I was able to make my painting look better so I am glad that I did that. One thing I also learned is to always step back from afar and examine your work because the perspective will change the way you see the painting. Overall, I thought that the painting was not going to turn out very well but it turned out better than I had expected and I am glad I got to learn new techniques while accomplishing this project.
