Portrait as a Still LifeThe items I chose were a running shoe and my Apex Cross Country sweatshirt which represent my devotion to running as I am on the cross country and track teams, a book by one of my favorite authors because I love reading, my Ohio State football jersey because I love watching football and Ohio State is my favorite college team, and a phone because I take my phone everywhere I go. I found the small details such as the folds in in the football jersey and the words on the book to be most successful because they make the painting look more realistic. Something that I think I could've done better was add more depth to the painting by including more shading because some parts of the painting look plain and two dimensional. I picked acrylic for this painting because I found it easier to paint small details and smoother edges on the different items with this medium. The Idea of PlaceThe place I chose was Chimney Rock and Lake Lure in Rutherford County, NC because one of my most favorite vacations that I've ever been on took place here and I was able to take some great photographs there including the one above. The thing I found most successful about this piece was the way the rock, people, and flag turned out because I feel like it really displays the scale of the location. Some things I would change would be the way I blended the colors in the background because they don't blend well enough in the final piece and I would change the way I did the shading because the way that my final piece is shaded makes the image look kind of flat. The reason I chose watercolor as the medium for this painting is because I thought that it would produce a better arrangement of colors for the trees, which make up the majority of this image.
