My goals and intentions for this piece were to get hair texture and shading correctly.

I accomplished my goals by looking at the eye and the hair texture.

I was surprised at how easy it was to make the hair and the fingers.

The most difficult challenge was creating the proper head shape.

I meet that challenge by breaking down the proportions of each part.

I experienced the shift from right brain to left by looking at the shapes and not the overall picture.

This piece really works with the eyes, hair, and fingers.

Something I learned going into my next piece is how to make things look realistic.

If I had a do-over I would make the pinky and phone look more realistic.

I feel that the best things are the fingers and the hair.

I created this picture by using a picture from the pond and incorporating the scratch off idea from elementary school. I really enjoyed this technique.

• My goals and intentions for this piece were to create the indentations in the tree and use colors that you wouldn't normally use.
• I accomplished my goals by looking carefully at how the ridges in the tree were curved.
• I was surprised at how easy it was to. make the tree but at how hard it was to do it in different colors.
• The most difficult challenge was using the purples and seeing all of the greens in the leaves.
• I meet that challenge by breaking down each color of the leaves and by thinking like my role model artist for this painting.
• I experienced the shift from right brain to left by focusing on the colors and shapes of the leaves and grooves in the tree.
• This piece really works with the leaves and tree branches.
• An artist that inspired me was Wolf Kahn because of all of his bright colors and his prospective on landscapes.
• Something I learned going into my next painting is how to look at things through a new prospective.
• If I had a do-over I would add more grooves and detail to the tree.
• I feel that the best things are the branches and leaves.
