          Assigned to create a painting including both a representational object and a pattern. Problem solving skills were exercised in accomplishing the challenge of using color application to emphasize the subject. This being my first time experimenting with  acrylic paint I found it challenging to blend colors, for instance I found mixing colors to resemble a believable skin tone and shading to give the figure dimension especially demanding.
