For this project I decided to paint a horse, because I have always really liked horses. I think my skills have improved greatly with painting because I had to blend the colors and paint to create the right texture. I had never used a sponge before when I was painting but now I have and it was cool to use a different item, rather than just a brush. The different shades of the horse really made me more skilled in painting because I had to match the colors and textures.
