[Aquanet] October member critique page is up!

[Louise & Rich]

Patricia,
Thank you for your critique.  I did enjoy doing the painting, but because I hadn't painted in such a long time it was difficult, especially getting the shapes right without using a masking fluid while keeping the background so loose.  I love doing loose backgrounds, but always seem to have a problem keeping any lines of my drawing from being too wiggly.  I don't usually do a detailed drawing and that could be a problem, but I also don't like to feel that I'm "coloring in" a painting, like in a coloring book.
Can you be more clear for me on where you would add those "bright contrasting colors along the edges or peaking through the background" -- did you mean close to the egg shells?  And what contrasting color would you suggest?
Thanks again for your critique.
Louise

        Louise -- I love the loose painting style you have chosen.  I'm imagining that this was a relaxing painting for you to do, even tho you felt pressure to accomplish something.  Am I right?  My only suggestion is if you could add some bright contrasting color along the edges or peaking through the background to give the painting more excitement.  Patricia
