I'm working on my final painting now, and it is going pretty well. I'm trying to do a lot of glazes in the water to create a sense of space. I'm still trying to work with the algae to get the right color and texture, and working at a muddy color to add in a few parts of the painting. I started two other paintings, just really rough under paintings to try to keep up with the routine of painting every day and finishing paintings every couple of weeks. I figured by starting a few paintings I wouldn't get out of school and not know what to paint. This will be the first summer for me painting in oils.
