   This assignment proved to be quite the challenge however, I feel that I learned quite a bit throughout the creation process. For example, did you know that when trying paint with Coca Cola pop it actually appears almost barely visible on paper so in order for it to have any colour I had to paint layers and wait for it to dry, haha! I found that I struggled the most trying to to create gradients for both the foreground and background without having one disappear into the other. Overall this study was very fun and I found it super interesting being able to experiment using different mediums that I wouldn't normally use.
