This is a watercolor of the tress outside the school on white paper. This motif is the pink blossoms as a whole. The new skill I learned was how to paint less detail in the background than the foreground, and expanding my experience with watercolor. I also learned how to paint trees with leaves or flowers on them. The main art elements in my picture are color and shape. The mood is ominous, the clouds look scary opposed to the beautiful pink cherry blossoms.
