Choosing a landscape picture was most likely the hardest part when it came to this project. I wanted to do something that wasn't generic and widely drawn. This crossed out things such as the beach or a forest. Taking a picture that had one tone of color and adding in new colors was something that I wanted to do, which would have been more fun with a creative landscape.
I decided on using a picture that Tori took in Las Vegas. She took the picture at Red Rock Canyon and I really liked the atmosphere that the picture portrayed. It just seemed like such a calm area and I wanted to capture it in my own way. The way the mountains were shown was very subtle and the plants popped out. Since I used oil, I had some issues when creating this piece. The first layer, took so long to dry, and its because my house is very humid and keeps paint wet. So after moving it into the art room, it dried and I began adding new layers, and I was working on it at a much faster rate. Overall, I like the use of color I gave this piece and how I was able to give it a messy look that pops.
