The elements and principles of focus for this project are unity, emphasis, and movement. I painted a picture of the Black Sea near Odessa, Ukraine that I took myself just a few weeks earlier because it is a very important place to me and I wanted to paint something that reminded me of it.
These are my preliminaries but I did not use any of them.
This is the entire painting of the black sea
This is part of the pier that I stood out on when I took the picture.
This is the upper part of my painting, the sky and the horizon line.
This is the part of my painting where I tried to show movement in the water and the upper right corner is an underwater wall.
