I think the strongest aspect of my work is the way I used different values of color for the flower. I think it makes it look realistic and cool the way the different values work together. I also used opacity change to get the texture of the flower and leaves. I think i could've used more blending modes. The blending modes would make it look even better with different colors. 

      The easy part of this activity was taking the picture. I just focused on the flower and took it. The hardest part was painting the picture. It's hard to get every single detail and make it look realistic. 

      I demonstrated the objective by using the tools I was taught. I used the blending modes, paint brushes, and opacity change. If I could change something, I would use different colors. I feel that these colors look too similar to the original flower. I wanted to keep the colors realistic though.
