I have learned alot from Oil Painting, with the freedom, independence i have been able to work and explore while doing so. Oil Painting as a medium has added to this expirience because i have been able to layer my work and go through many trials to reach a final piece. The most challenging bit of all of my work has been reaching a state of completion, i am always looking at my painting and seeeing more possible improvements and differences form the subject. There are many possible directions to go in and i am having trouble wrapping up the project and making the piece feel cohessive.
I think that i have progressed most in my ability to put colors down how i see them. In the past i have not had as much of an opinion as an artist and i feel that as i continue producing work and practicing in the medium i have gained more freedom. I feel more confident as a painting and enjoy producing work very much.
i think that obsserving art history is useful and effects artist today because in looking back at any history we are able to learn from those who came before us. We can pick an choose from the styles and inspiring ideas as we please. Looking back to the succesess of the past is a great way to fuel yourself in producing well rounded work with depth.

Antonía, I love your enthusiasm and love for the art. I too once thought I had a problem with finishing my work on time, staying on schedule. Then I asked myself why I was rushing to beat the clock; and I realized that my paintings aren't finished when someone else's schedule says they are, there finished when i feel at peace with what I have done. Don't let someone else dictate your artwork Antonía. If you think you struggle with achieving closure, thats wonderful, identifying our struggles lets us grow, but make sure it comes from you. Don't believe you have trouble getting closure unless you feel it yourself. Your a wonderful artist Antonía, carve your own beautiful path.
Antonia,I totally understand what you are talking about. I too have trouble staying on track and reaching the assigned deadline. I also look at the paintings I have done and find tiny problems and consider what I should have done. It is great that you know what your struggle is and now you know it, it will push you harder as an artist to improve. Like Jason said it helps us grow and flourish to be the best.
