1. I think that the good parts of my painting is the blending and colors because I used a lot of different colors and spent a lot of time making them work together. 2. I could have done a better job on the edges of my painting because I didnt match all the colors very well and didn't spend very much time on that part. 3. My theme was landscape which I created by painting a picture of the Black Sea in Odessa, Ukraine and I choose that because the Odessa is a very close place to me and I love the colors of the Black Sea. 4. The peice of my painting that stands out the most to me is the wall under the water because I think the even though I put blue over the wall it still shows a lot. The other part is the white foam because it really pops out. 5. I notice the bottom first because it it dark and then I notice the underwater wall which leads me to the color of the water and eventually the sky. I think others will see it the same because of the strong colors and detail. 6. I learned that oil paints are very messy and to wear aprons and be careful because it stains clothing but I also learned that I enjoy oil paints a lot because it blends beautifully. 7. My painting did not turn out to look like any of my sketches because I decided to do something completely different right before we started but it turned out to be very much like the picture I went from. 8. I thought this was a very worthwhile project because I learned how to build a canvas and work with oil paints and I really enjoyed it all.
