This piece is about the song Mercedes Benz by Janis Joplin. The song is about how she just randomly started singing the song in a bar with her friends keeping the beat with beer bottles. I can to love this song because we danced to it recently in dance. With this piece being my second to last piece, I wanted to finish it quickly, so I picked pen and water color, which is a combination of mediums i have never done before. Overall I really like how this piece turned out, and it's one of my favorites on my concentration. Some things I liked about this piece is the color scheme. I didn't want it to be basic colors, since when I think of Janis Joplin I think of more bright colors. Some things that were hard for me for this piece was the watercolor. I haven't really done watercolor since art 2, so some things I had trouble with was blending out the watercolor till it faded from the dark to the white. I had to go over it with water a lot so the brushstrokes didn't show.
