I was very very very very scared to try and tackle this complex and detailed bridge. At first I really didn't think I could do this but I gained some encouragement. I learned in this piece to take one line at a time which will definitely help me in future pieces that are even more detailed. This shows my perspective of architecture and how I see it as an artist. The composition I feel is string in this piece because it is almost framed by the front couple if bars which sets the perspective for the whole piece. I used a different type of brush than normal which helped me to keep the lines straight without a ruler. Highlights and shadows proved probably one of the most important parts of this painting. The reason being it set the perspective and created a 3D look to each little bar. I am very proud and happy with how this piece turned out, because I was worried at first to take such a risk. I definitely conquered this challenge and there for it is my favorite concentration piece so far.
