PROUD PIECE OF ART

One of my most favorite pieces of artwork that I have done has to be this painting I did a year ago in the acrylic painting class I took at SBCC. I have always loved painting and I took this really good painting class last year that helped improve my skills. It is a painting of a portrait of a nude model, and I worked on it for about a month. One of the biggest challenges I ran into was trying to blend the perfect skin tone. I tried so many different combinations, and finally I found one that I like. The model was very pretty and where ever I you sit in class that is the view you have to paint. So I sat in the back and I had to paint her backside, which I really liked because the curve of her spine was really interesting to me. My teacher really liked my painting and my background. When the semester was over I remember very specifically that my teacher told me before I left that she will always remember my portrait painting. That was such a nice complement, and I felt very proud of myself, and how far I had gone with my art.
