  Scenic Spot

  Through this painting, I wanted to portray the serenity and calmness of nature. I reduced the intensity of the colors by mixing shades of gray and white to make the painting seem more realistic. I used a palette knife to paint the tree trunks which allowed me to achieve a unique texture and appearance. To paint the small pond in the foreground, I used a lot of water to give a very smooth and clear view. This helped me to paint the reflections of the trees on the pond. Overall, I learned a lot during the painting process from using different textures, colors, and working on an acrylic medium.
