I started my painting by planning out what I was going to paint. I took a photo I had taken of the Cape Lookout lighthouse, and painted the exact photo. The lighthouse was put in the back, and the boat in the front to make the composition look more realistic. I organized my painting by putting different effects in different places to make the painting colorful and come to life. The atmospheric perspective is how the colors in the painting switch. The colors in the back are darker to make the area look farther away and the colors in the front are brighter to make it look closer. I created a light source by making some of the colors on the right side bright and by putting shadows on the boat and a reflection of the lighthouse in the water. My color scheme was analogous and the colors were blue and somewhat green. I used different brush strokes in different areas. For example, in the water i used many different brush strokes to make the water look real. I put side to side brush strokes in sky, and made the trees look big and full by using a fan brush. The value in my painting makes the painting come to life.
