Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goal of my project is to show the creative steps involved in the making of a final painting- sketches, drawings, and oil- by presenting landscape paintings alongside their preparatory sketches. By showing again at Prove, I also plan to use professional-level materials to introduce my work to a wider public. The success of my project will be evaluated on feedback from Prove viewers, as well as on the number of visitors to the gallery.
