For this project I was assigned the artist Sol LeWitt. During this project some new techniques that I learned were layering the paint to make it look fuller and more colorful. I found it difficult to gradually make the colors into a gradient-effect because they always ended up looking really similar. Luckily with acrylic paint, once it dries it's easy to paint over.
A lot of times during this project I would step back and analyze my work. It helped me to see what changes could be made from seeing it far away. My idea of what I was going to do in the beginning is much different from the final product. Most of this was because I found different ways to go about the project after looking and analyzing it.
While painting, I frequently asked the people around how I was able to make it better. They gave me pointers on how I could improve and almost all of the ideas I put into my project. For example, the clouds were something that I definitely wasn't sure about, but I was given some good ideas on what I could to to make them fit in with the project. My artist mainly did lines and colors, so it was hard to take one of my own pictures off my phone and make it into something that Sol LeWitt would have drawn. Everyone helped, though, by giving me tips and constructive criticism.
