Jake Gyllenhall and Heath Ledger

​The piece I created is a greyish white mountain that covers a lot of the bottom half of the page. The mountain has trees scattered throughout it. The trees are light green and light brown. There are not that many on the mountain but they are there. Then there is a darkish sky that is also light. It connects with the mountain. In the sky, there are brown birds. They are a darker color and are also scattered throughout the mountain. I want my work to communicate that this could be somewhere in the world, anywhere. Also, that nature is a valuable part of life and that life is simple and not everything is perfect but it still is something. To create this artwork I used watercolor and a variety of brushes. For the mountain, I used a pretty standard brush and mixed black and white to create my grayish color for my mountain. For my trees, I mixed a dark brown with a green to create the color for my bark. For my leaves, I just took a standard green and used a fan brush to create these evergreen-like trees. For my sky, I mixed a really dark blue with some white and painted her on. Some techniques I used were like quick side strokes for the trees. The rest was regular painting.
 My current work relates to my previous work because all my work starts off with a plan and it usually does not go according to the plan because I mess up but then it turns out okay. Also, most of my work has a sky. I’m proud of my birds and the trees that I made. I would change the way the mountain curves because I do not like it.

The artist that inspired me is van-Gough because his work is a lot of scenery and trees and mountains. I think it does not really reflect his work but in my eyes it does.
