looking back

Final Reflection.

1. i have never had trouble using color, or at least no trouble covering my canvas with it.... however at the start i may not have been using it in the most effiecient or fitting manner. I knew that i saw the colors in my subjects... bt just needed practice getting comfortable conveying my view and transmitting this isnto a piece. I believe that as my paintings progressed i exibit comfort in my color use and that i currently use it more effectivly.

2. my compositions ten to be very centered... or balanced. my fist painting did have the focal points off centered, however the "negitive space" was by no means left empty or even close to untouched. I believe that my compositions have been strong, and in being centered easily direct the viewer to my focus and create something full and balanced with an even flow.

3. in the still-life painting i worked hard to create the illusion of the many textures and different surfaces of my subjects, however otherwise my painting's fucus have not been so realist and detailed that i have sepend as much time focusing on this aspect of the piece.

4. a big part of my painitngs is the effisis on light and the effect is takes on the onbjects and space. Light brings depth and value to a painting and i work hard to portray the light of setting as best i can so that these paintings are spacious and well-rounded.

overall i think that i have progressed in developing a sense of style in my work and have made efforts to learn certain tequniques for my paintings... in the end i have picked and choosed from these and combined the disired styles into my own.
