1) I think that the cloud background keeps the lines in between the brick from interfering with the letters of my name.
2) I chose warm colors on the inside of the cloud(which includes my name) and cold colors on the bricks. I chose this scheme because it makes it my name pop out more.
3) I excelled in keeping everything nice and clean and organized until after the gudda when I began to paint. In some parts of the painting colors bleed through the gudda and caused colors to blend where i didn't want them to.
