la repuesta:
1) The most challenging aspect of the course so far for me is making sure objects in my picture look realistic, with out focusing on every little detail. i think i succeeded in doing this in my "white objects" painting. It was more difficult than i thought it would be to make pots look realistic.
2) i think i have progressed the most in my ability to move out of my comfort zone and attempt to do something that is a challenge for me. i have forced myself to concentrate on working on a painting as a whole, not just small portions of it at a time. i think this has allowed my paintings to grow more, and also gave me more time to begin working on details like shading.
3) i think looking at paintings throughout history has helped me to be inspired, and also allows me to study techniques that i like, and attempt to mimick them, yet, turn them into my own style. Also, it allows me to become a better artist because it shows me how to make a painting look realistic, and why.
