My painting represents my grandparents cottage on Lake Michigan. This is important to me because I have gone there since I was three years old and my family has owned this land since the 1920’s.
The most challenging part of this painting was combining colors to make that pink-orange color for the sunset. I feel that the reflection of the sun off the water was my most successful part of my piece. First I had to choose a picture that was about my grandparents cottage. I choose this sunset because of the bright colors. Then I sketched it and tried out colors. Next the I started on the clouds with a blue and grey mix, then I painted the sunset with a pinkish orange mix and a white and yellow mix. After that I painted a pink-orange triangle, and painted black and blue water over it. Next I used the fur method to paint the dunes with brown and dark green. Finally I used a very small brush to touch up and add extra layers in areas.
