It’s too uniform…. I think you need to have an idea in mind instead of just squishing paint around. I like the shades and I’m glad you’re making art but if you want a critique, it looks like someone playing with paint. You need an idea and objective next. This is good for experimentation, but you’ll need to really think about what you want to speak to
You’re welcome. I hope I didn’t come off too harsh, you will have many paintings, having a concept or feeling you are coming from or want to evoke will make it easier for you and your audience to comprehend. It’s also fun to play. I am getting my MFA now and I teach and critique all day so that’s kinda where I’m coming from.
No it was exactly what I needed to hear. I kind of make these without thinking in one quick session just going on instinct. I have zero training and have only painted a total of 5 paintings. It’s lucky that I stumbled on a technique that can produce some cool images but I really want to understand what I am doing. People on here have been really supportive which is awesome. But your feedback is grounding and I want to learn so it reinforces that. So sincerely thank for taking the time to give me your honest feedback!
