I picked this picture because I liked they way the girl looked, and it reminded me of my favorite movie Red Riding Hood. I also liked it because I originally I went with another picture by this same artist but it wasn't three quarters of a figure so I couldn't do it but I looked at other paintings and I was between this one and other close to this, but in the end I wanted more of a challenge. I feel that the biggest challenge with this picture I think is going to be the face and getting the flowers right on the dress. I also think the tress and the colors when I go to paint it. I also have to decide what type of medium I’m going to use. I’m thinking I’ll use either paint or oil pastels, but I’ll decide when I come to that problem. Besides all of that I think it’s going to turn out very well.

 * Some of the problems I had were trying to get the fingers to look right mostly up by the shoulders. Also getting all of the colors right in then the background and on the bodice. Even though the colors were mostly simple it was hard to get the right tones. Also the hair making sure it was flowing and the swirls in the hair was corrected was challenging. Some of the solutions for the fingers were I flipped it upside down, and really gridded it down. For the colors I just took my time and really looked at the colors and used a lot of paint. Also for the hair i had to take my time and really look at the shapes.**


 * Overall, I'm partially** **satisfied with my painting, I wish somethings had turned out differently. Like the trees on the left side I felt didn't turn out as well as I hoped. Also I wish the eyes turned out better I couldn't get it as good as I wanted to. Somethings I liked are the dress mostly the bodice. I really liked how the colors went together. Also I liked the apple I think it looks exactly like the picture.**
