week 3 continued! critique (fa620)

Bao said (in audio critique, I transcribed):

For review of the detail of this painting, I really interested in the map, the image there. I think this is a really good idea and concept to make use of these elements of the map for this composition. I’m thinking if you have a some little bit really subtle overlap transparent map image on the letter A and letter B in these areas, really subtle. I think this would be much more interesting. For example, you can make the collage for the map first, and then overlap making the other paint on the top of the map and then make a really subtle image there for the map. I think this would be really interesting. Of course right now you already paint already. But in the future you can go that way. And so, make the collage of the map first, and then use the color, the cover over. And also the opposite and you can play around, different layers use the collage

Bao said (in audio critique, I transcribed):

Hi you said this artwork already done, but I still have a little bit suggestion for this picture. For example, if you put letter A, I mark here, this a warm color to the letter B, that areas, and make this composition it looks more stronger and more subtlety because right now that red circle brush strokes really strong and too individual at in that area. If we have a little bit the other darker warm color right there create subtlety for this composition and also make this red circle brushstrokes feel much more sensitive, much more interesting. So if you have a chance you can try out a little bit more warmer color on the letter B, I think this artwork feel much more sensitive and much stronger, show the subtlety.

 

I looked through your whole the paintings. I think you are going through a right direction on the way. You can continue to work on your process. Continue to keep the confidence and the bold and try to use the variety, different way to show your feeling, and go through your favorite elements in abstract. You have a really good sense and really sensitive to use like the lines, this kind of language for the abstract art. I think is really good. You use the lines it is really strong and show your feelings and also variety create the interesting composition. So your shape and the form and the color it is follow the structure of the lines for your abstract composition. So therefore the lines, it’s really important elements for your abstract painting. So therefore you can continue the lines, to use the lines and show your feeling about this artwork. Again, so you can continue to work in your own way and so keep going.

week 3 progress (fa620)

1. 40"x48" I strapped down the grey. This thing keeps getting busier and busier.

2. 48"x48" This is the one that got rained on, the layer is really subtle and not not noticeable from this distance.
detail shots:

3. 48"x56" I kind of think this is close to done-ish. It's rather shallow physically but I don't really want to do anything to it right now.

4. 40"x48" I added the corduroy and painted over it, this needs a major overlay I think. Some bold contrast in application form. I think I might keep it within the palette.

5. 40"x48" I added gold lamé and what my students deemed "scabs" which is what the dried acrylic from the palette peeled off (see detail shots).

 next nine  

8.5"x11". These are the same images from week 1 with a monprint layer (or two). Next comes gold oil stick then maybe a white wet monoprint. Still thinking about that. So far I'm thinking of using the first or second for my card. I have four days to decide, finish, shoot, and order before my coupon expires.
