This piece is a landscape photograph that I painted, it portrays mainly space and value. One skill I learned was that the colors need to be layered from lightest shade to darkest so then the colors don't accidentally blend like they did in my sketch photo. I think the most emphasized principle of design is value because we used it to create the overall look and paint of the work. The element is creating something new, interesting, and meaningful by showing that the value scale can be represented into real life objects or ideas.
