7_1-7_2. I agree with you #1 and #2 it is finished both are a consistence and unity for whole over the composition.

7_3. For this painting, I think it is almost finished. But I still have a little bit suggestion that is for the letter a these areas if you have another cooler color the other layer overlap and cover little bit more the red line image.  I think would be much better for create the subtlety for this red line image. Because right now from the beginning to the end for whole over the composition this red line image is really strong and pop out on the surface. If you have the other colors overlap little bit more and make this one subtle little bit some part I think create the picture the depth and make this artwork much more interesting and much more sensitive for this red image.

7_4. For this picture I think it’s finished because the whole elements is work together. Especially the color tone, value brushstrokes, this kind of elements is consistent and unity for whole over the composition create movement and depth and transparent feeling. I think this is really good.

 7_5. I agree with you this artwork already finished because whole over the composition have the fresh feeling about color tone, brushstrokes, and the texture.

7_6. For this painting I mark here like the letter a in this areas they are different shape, and form, value, color tone, and texture if you have other layers make them consistent and unity and relate to each other I think this be much better to create subtlety and depth for whole over composition.

        


 

7_8. I really like the composition for this picture. I think it’s really powerful and dynamic. And also I really like you put the different elements of on there and make this artwork feel much more interesting and dramatic. I think have a lot of potentials to developing this artwork. So you can go ahead and continue to work for this one make the other layers.

  7_9. It is a good foundation for this artwork. You can go your to own direction continue to work on.

These are looking great!
#1's dark fabric still breaks my concentration. Love this piece though!
#2 is just wonderful in feeling and it's movement. Great layers of colors/ space.
#3 is still not there for me. Maybe it is the contrast of the dark red line that stand out over the lighter background. ? Doesn't pull together like #1 + #2.
#5 I love this.
#6 is pretty wonderful! I do sorta wish I'd see the stripes repeated in a small way somewhere below. The black shaggy shapes are pretty cool. Lovin all the little stuff coming through.
#8. YEAH! I like the method of the red application. Great mix of colors and patterns so far.

You don't want it to be done? Massive overhaul it is, buddy. After turning in my midterm in 674, it's glaringly obvious that this one is the one of these things that's not like the other. There's only like 10 things going on here. And the rest have a million. So. something major is going to happen to this. I have no plans, but it's brewing.

All of these for me have impact - the movement and color palettes in particular strike as sophisticated from day one....but #8 hits it out of the park. It's less frenetic than the others. The composition is beautiful. #9 - ha! very observant!! :-)

week 6 crit

6_4. For me in this painting is almost finished but I still have little bit suggestion and that is the letter A these areas this kind of jumping lines little bit overdo it. If you make some a little bit looser and subtle a little bit more I think this would be much better. For example, like the letter b in that areas I think it is really good because that part has a consistence and unity and whole over the other shape and the form. But the letter A that lines become superficial like on top of the other image.

6_6. For this picture I think you are still in the process you can continue to go ahead to make other layers and see what is happen.

Interesting. Esp the 2nd one as I have to stop and wonder how you got here. You are really pushing these in very interesting directions. I never would have guessed you's use stripes. I like them.

week 5 crit

5_1-5_4. For these four paintings I think close to finish because the whole elements is a consistency and unity create a really strong mood and also the effect for whole over composition. Sometimes for the abstract painting be careful and don’t overdo it. Sometimes would rather leave some part not complete perfect finish. It’s better than make the perfect finish. So therefore, right now I think it’s already done for the whole over the this four abstract compositions.

5_6. It is a really good final effect for the picture. I really like the illusion of space and atmosphere and also like this kind of like sensitive value create a special mood for whole over the composition.  I mark here like the letter a, these kind of the lines if you put some more on the bottom of the composition like the letter b in that areas and still keep it horizontal feel free to make these lines. I think this would be much better. Of course don’t put these lines on the top of the composition just for the bottom, from the middle of this composition to the bottom. So I think this would me much more interesting.
