Explanation: My piece is a painting of a city in Italy named Riomaggoire. There are lots of buildings on a cliffside on the left side of the painting. Surrounding the cliff and extending out to the horizon is the ocean, which fades from a light to a dark shade of blue. There is also a band of smaller rocks extending into the ocean from the base of the cliff and lots of froth and foam on the water near the cliff and band of rocks.
I loved the oil painting process. I really liked all the colors I was able to create with oil paints and how easily the paints blended. I enjoyed the process much more than painting with acrylics, I had a lot of fun trying to create new colors and textures, and experimenting with different thicknesses of paint. I also liked how painting with oils forced me to try painting with less precise strokes since getting straight edges with oil paint is really hard. I liked that the oil painting process pushed me to try new techniques and approaches, and overall, I really loved painting with oil paints. This landscape piece is depicting a city in Italy named Riomaggoire. This piece has a lot of meaning to me. I visited this city a few years ago with my family and I spent the day with them walking through the streets, trying local food, and enjoying the scenery. This city was incredibly beautiful as it was right on the ocean, and it was also isolated. There weren't many tourists or big roads around, and I loved it. I had so much fun with my family that day just enjoying the environment and company, I felt very calm and relaxed. I tried to capture those peaceful and sheltered feelings in this painting. This painting means a lot to me because it reminds me of a fond time I had with my family.
