Painting seemed like a foreign subject to me so this project helped my talents grow tremendously. Learning how to lay down oil paints was tricky at first, but after a couple practice rounds I was able to begin my painting. The NC State's Hunt Library has fascinating chairs that range with wide varieties, so I took a picture of one type of chair there and chose it for my project. I tried to incorporate different colors that weren't originally in the picture into the shadows and highlights.
