The place that I chose to paint is of a sunset and a church in Idaho Falls, Idaho. This place is important to me because my family took a big trip to Yellowstone a few years ago and we stopped here before we got into the super touristy area. The weather was soo nice and it was really beautiful there. It just made me really happy to be there. I used watercolors as my medium because I had already used acrylic on my still life and also I thought that it would be better for blending a sunset with wispy clouds. I think the silhouette of the trees and church were the most successful part of this piece. I was able to make the edges nice and sharp and the tree edges had just the slightest bit of sunset colors shining through them. If I could change something, it would be the blending of the sky. I didn't have much time to finish the piece, so I quickly slapped some color into the sky and didn't pay much attention to the fading from blue to orange.
