This is my second macro still life of a yellow flower that was in the back of the school. The art elements i used were color and value and using complementary colors. The new art skill i learned was using light backgrounds as opposed to a dark one like my last macro still life painting to have less contrast in my painting. I also learned to use a small brush and light strokes to add detail. I have learned that repetition helps my improvement. The complimentary colors made my painting better by making the colors brighter.
