I wish I could have figured out the

need more practice cross hatching

I love the way my sun set turned out.
I missed a week of school so I am
impressed how courageous I was

love sunsets, and mountains. I am
happy with the way this turned out.

Reflection
At the beginning of the semester I was very nervous to take
this class. I have never been able to take what I see in
front of me, or in my head, and be able to put it on paper.
I surprised myself. I learned how to draw what I see and go
out of my comfort zone.
All I needed was a good teacher and some patience.
