  3. I think that it is incredible how the artists used depth and shading to create 3D shapes in their pieces. It’s cool to see how they use foreground and background to help draw attention to their main focus, - Annabel

  5. I really like the last painting, it is so realistic and has so much detail. The color difference in the water is very interesting, you can see the shade from the trees.

  7. I love how their use of perspective. They didn't have cameras and photos to compare the images to but they are still extremely realistic. They are beautiful.
