 Idea: I wanted this piece to represent her acceptance and growth in her culture. This piece relates back to my very first piece I did. She is back home but this time she is not sitting down and bored and uninterested but standing up dressed in her traditional clothing and with her headpiece on. used watercolor on everything Material: watercolor  Process: I started by drawing my figure and moving onto the clothes and finished it off with the background, I also wanted to include Mongolian traditional writing so I added that to the background. 

 

 In this artwork I wanted to show my MC decorated and dressed in her traditional clothing. And I made her face calm and subtle with a slite smile to show peace, it shows she's finally at peace with herself and her culture and traditions. 

 

 

 In this artwork I want to show my main character realizing how grey and dark her life really feels and looks, and comparing herself to other seeing and how they are grey. And it sparks a light in her, a realization that took a long time, she realizes the color she is missing in her life is embroidered in her traditional clothing, (and the culture itself being the light). 

 In this artwork I wanted to show the feeling of loss in a way, the girl on the right who abandoned her traditions and culture sees another person who is embracing and introducing their culture to other people with pride. And this makes her feel a sense of loss, the dark background indicating that sense and loneliness.
