For my painting, I decided to use this picture Monument Valley. I tried one other desert-y landscape and decided I liked this one better.
The first one had one of those rocks that's in the middle of this one up close and on the left with more in the background. I figured it'd be easy to show how they got less detailed as they got farther away, but the landscape was really boring to draw, so I didn't think I'd want to paint it.
The second draft I did was of this picture which was taken in Monument Valley. It's the first picture that comes up if you Google the place. I liked this one better because it was more interesting. Instead of only rocks taking up the picture there was also this random piece of wood in the front. This allowed to to pay a lot of attention to the detail in the piece of wood, like all the lines and colors, and let the rocks in the background be less detailed chunks of color with some lines. This is the one I based my final off of.
