School: Hope College Prep

After School Matters program: Mural Painting

Sample Work: Untitled

Inspiration:

"This painting was inspired by a trip to the DuSable Museum. I saw all of the pretty trees and kids playing in the grass."

Techniques:

"I mixed different greens for the grass and browns for the trees. Lighter and darker colors show the distance of the trees."

How did your instructor guide this project:

"My instructor suggested that I add a little darker green around the edges of the trees to make them pop out."
