When I was starting on this project I had a couple of different landscapes, and put in some objects but after awhile I didn't like what it was looking like so I looked for some examples on the Ning. When I finally found the one I liked, I searched for a ton of pictures both from China and Yarmouth. One of my difficulties was putting things in the background and making it have depth. I asked the teacher once and she was very helpful after that I I could pretty much do it all by myself. One of my successes was erasing. I thought that I did really well. I zoomed in when I had to and made my brush as tiny as it could go to get all the spots.
