Reflections

Week 3:
I was struggling to go through with the five works Mr Kannan asked of us. I was not sure what kind of style I was going for so some ended up looking like vector, while others looked more painterly. I was also struggling to keep proper proportions and perspective with most of them. Overall everything looked inconsistent and needless to say I wasn't satisfied with them.

Week 4:
For this week, we are to touch up on three of the five paintings we did last week. I wasn't able to do the interior painting last week, so I worked on it this week. Mr Kannan told me during class that if I were to proceed with this interior painting, it would be hard for me since it is very detailed. For now I am debating whether or not to redo this particular painting.

Week 5:
I tried to touch up on three paintings however I redid my interior painting. I have chosen the mountain painting, shophouse painting and the redid interior painting. My first interior painting was scrapped because I feel like it would be too detailed for me to finish in time. However that means my second interior painting will be several steps behind and I would need to catch up.
