This piece is oil. It relates to my concentration of adrenaline because my older brother took this picture as. was this close to the shark. I added my brother into the picture in the bottom right hand corner though. The piece is oils. I used an orange back wash. I originally was going to change the colors of the shark, bringing out the green in the white of the shark. I didn't like it though so I brought out the purples. I let the orange backwash show through the most in the top right hand corner of the water. I also left an outline around the shark to help the shark stand out. When painting the shark I used vertical brush strokes to also help the shark stand out from the horizontal water brush strokes. I also think this helps round the shark. Overall I really like how this piece turned out. I think I will go back in and redo the scuba diver because he looks kind of rushed.
