Paint project Art 2: the farm

For my project I had to research information about Grandma Moses. Grandma Moses painted a lot of farm landscapes with specific details like shape and color. I decided to paint a farm with specific colors like red orange and yellow for the sky, brown for the barn, fence, and windmill, and green for the grass. I decided not to add any farm animals although Grandma Moses did; I decided not to paint farm animals because it is risky to add something to my painting that I don't know how to paint. Something I learned from this project is adding different shades of color to make the landscape and sky pop. It was very difficult using the sun in my painting as a light source but I eventually figured it out. Overall this was a very fun project, I really like painting over any other form of art.
