What I have learned.

What I have learned through this project through my painting emulated of Monet was that you need to be emotionally invested into your painting and not only capture the moment through light and space but feel something for your painting. To have feelings for the subject, colors, or style.  I chose a subject matter of a landscape somewhat like Monet would have chosen but only I took it from modern day. I chose a cityscape and a subway train. This is something I love, I love the city, the noises, and the silhouettes the buildings make at night time.  I chose the colors by the idea that the city has at night its dirty and cold and dark in the winter nights. Through this process I have learned to chose my elements a little more carefully to be more emotionally invested.
