CRITIQUE
This is my water color project, the first thing that I did was to choose a picture, after that I draw in the paper, later I started to give color to my piece, I really like the technique of water color, enjoy it a lot when I my warm ups, at first I believe that it was difficult to get the tones I needed for my piece since it has too much orange and variety of brown tones, but in the end I got the colors and the values I needed. The elements that make up my piece are a large window with a wall made of stones, part of the window is made with orange bricks and the window has black bars. Something I like about this piece is the harmony of the colors, I like it how the orange and brown tones look. I also like the details and textures in the rocks that make up the wall. This image belongs to a street in a town in Guanajuato, Mexico. Often the streets of this state are very colonial and have old touches. This is something that makes Mexico very important, every time I do something that has to do with Mexico, I do it with A lot of love, and every time I see this piece it reminds me of the place where I lived before, it transmits me hospitality and harmony. really to this piece I would have added more details in the bricks and in the rocks, I would also change some tones and put different textures in the windows.
what is art?
Art is the expression of a feeling or idea through the use of theory and techniques of each branch (music, dance, singing, acting etc)
I think that art depends on the way in which each person sees or wants to see it, you can look for meaning or beauty from your point of view, art is the door to the freedom to express ourselves in the way we want, personally when I'm sad I look for something that makes me happy when I paint or draw I feel better.

Paradise through the window
The process of my piece really pleased me, what I enjoyed most was the first step that was to cover my canvas with red paint to make a protective layer, another thing that was very different during the process was the mixture of greens that I used to make the leaves of the bushes.
The most successful part of my piece was the texture and the color of the bushes is something that I really liked, and I think it's a pity the cameras can not capture every detail, because I put a lot of effort into the textures of the leaves, that's why I like it more see my piece live because the details are better.
In this place I am representing my feelings, the comfort and peace that this place gave me, this place is very important for me because it is the view of the window of my mother's room from my house in Mexico, I loved to see through the window because that landscape always put me in a good mood.

Final project
I chose to do this project because it was one of my best memories of spring, one of my favorite movies is Iron Man and all the sagas of MARVEL, and last April premiered the last movie where this character made his last appearance, this because he died in the movie, and died in the most heroic, sacrificing for all the people I loved, for that reason I decided to do something to remember him, what he painted was the sacrifice he made.
