Taipei 101



This is an acrylic painting on cardboard of the Taipei 101. This building is actually the tallest in the world because of the needle on top of it. There are many reasons why it is called the Taipei 101. The 101 is the number of floors in the building and every year on 1-01 they have a huge fireworks display that makes the building look like one giant firework.

The problem that I am having with it is it still doesn't look quite as realistic as I would like it to be. And I know the way to do it is to add the floors and windows it but honestly I don't want to paint 101 lines on it. So if anyone has any suggestion of what would give it the effect of floors without painting 101 lines, please let me know.

Also I was thinking once I am done fixing the floor problem I may put fireworks on the outside to make it look like New Years but I'm not sure about that either let me know what you think

thanks jackie
