1.) I did a good job using a different texture and blending my colors.
2.) I had a hard time painting a face because I've never done a portrait. I also didn't have a small brush for detail, nor have I ever been taught to paint.
3.) The theme in my design was Taylor Swift, but on my new one it's going to be life, growth, and happiness.
4.) In my first painting my main colors were all tints of orange and yellow, the background was shades of reds. In my new painting the background will be shades of blues, and the main part will be yellows again. In my new painting my colors will effect my theme by being bright and blended.
5.) The values on Taylor's face were shades of orange and white to lowlight the places on her face to make it look real. On my new one, the highlights will be on the flowers to show brightness are the light areas. The darkness is in the background on both pictures.
6.) I learned that I don't know how to paint, and that portraits are not my fortey. <- I don't know how to spell that. Also I learned that Mr. Purdy doesn't like to let you give up.
7.) First I painted some of the background, then I started on her face. That was planned. The texture on the background wasn't planned but Hallie said she liked it so I went with it. Eventually as I got further into the project I hated it even more.
8.) I liked that I know how to make a canvas now..otherwise I just wish I knew how to paint/more techniques. I didn't really like this project but I don't know what you would change.

Overall
The theme of this painting is life, because some flowers are looking up and some are looking down which is what happens in life. The colors in this picture also define the theme with the bright colors on the flowers and the dark background. My strokes are going everywhere but on the flowers it gives them definition to make them pop out and look more real.
Preliminary Drawings
This picture is Taylor Swift and I drew it because I wanted to try doing a portrait. I like this picture but I think the lips are too big compared to her eyes.

This is a child from my work that is unfinished but I don't like her nose.

This was supposed to be a drawing of Ryan Gosling but he has a lazy eye and I struggled with it, I also didn't finish this one.
