Finally, this is my last piece in my 12 piece concentration. For my last work I wanted to have a piece that was free of Citra Solv transfers and any media influence. I wanted to do a strong portrait of a girl who was not unaffected by the media with the freedom to think for herself. I think this pieceshows that well due to the profile of the face and the composition of the piece. I also used warm colors to show the liberation in the work and added some purple in for contrast.
Hey Mary,
ReplyDeleteI think that your last piece is good but not as strong as some of your past concentration pieces. The things that I think you should work on is making the girl's face more realistic and developing stronger values. I think that the hair and the background are great though!
I like the idea and you have a very strong start on this profile--even now it is one of your best and most realistic portraits. I think the piece needs to be developed further (sorry, I know you want to just be done..haha). Since your other pieces are so layered, this one needs to have the same level of complexity, in my opinion. But I love it conceptually!
ReplyDeletemary- I agree with both comments above. You need to work back in and develop the value more on the face so that it is richer in contrast and mark-making to model form. You can do it!
