For this project I chose to emphasize the element color. For a while I was planning my project to be black and white and the element was going to be either line or value. I decided to do color because it was something I was more comfortable with. The media I used was acrylic paint. Over the summer I worked a lot with acrylics, but this was the first time I did something bigger with it. I was inspired to do a painting of a sailboat by my dad. When he was in school he did lots of pen and ink drawings of sailboats on the water. Over all I feel like I grew in my painting skills during this project.
