Crane's Graden

This artwork was a challenge and a motivation. This artwork took 5 weeks to finish. It was a challenge because it had many steps, many little details, imaginary, and patience. The first step was to trace everything out with a pencil and recreate some things. The next step was to use a special Chinese painting ink to trace the pencil. The third step was to paint. I had to be really careful to not cover the ink. I had to fill in ever little detail. The thing that motivated me into drawing this was the Prunes Mumes, the bamboo, and the magnolias. The other thing that motivated me into drawing this was the unique position of the cranes. I really like being challenged in art so when I saw this I was really excited to start. The basic practices have taught me how to draw the little details and have motivated me by letting me change the things on this artwork. These are the challenges and the things that have motivated me into drawing this artwork.
