For this project I had to find a picture of an aerial view of a landscape to recreate with acrylic paints. I wanted to and did find a picture that included various distances, depths and a contrast of colors. I believe that I was able to accomplish the task of creating a painting to look like the original picture. My final holds many different elements, my favorite being the sun rays that bring out depth.

In this final I used chalk pastels to capture the color and blur of the picture. After I took my picture I was able to blur and adjust the colors to a different hue of colors. In my picture the base color is yellow, my favorite, but I was able to tie in the yellow in the whole portrait and bring in the reds, oranges and greens. I believe that I was successful in this project because I feel like the final captures the goal. My final seems creepy in the shadows and how it comes across, but the colors that I used are warm, ctreating a juxtaposition within the piece.
