For this project, I painted different fruits in the shape of strawberries. I really liked the idea I chose because it took something easily identifiable and commonplace and made it unique. I especially like the way the colors turned out and the textures I created in the fruit. However, I wish the texture of the orange had turned out a little more realistically. I also had a difficult time creating dark enough shadows without making the entire piece too dark. I think I found a good balance in the end, but wish I had added a little more shadow towards the back to bring more dimension to the piece. Adding more opposite colors in the shadow rather than darkening the color itself could have improved this. I think adding the pomegranate seeds on to the table really helped develop the different planes in the piece and made it seem more natural. I also think the background color I chose contrasted well with the rest of the piece without drawing too much focus, but I wish I had made it a little more interesting. Overall, I'm happy with the way my piece turned out, but if I were to do it again, I would work on creating more depth and a more realistic feel.
