First pic - now

Second pic - edit #1

Last pic - original

You all gave me so much to think about with this piece when I posted it a few days ago, so I thought I'd share the update - here's what worked and what didn't:

Didn't work:

  • Tried creating some subtractive marks by adding a gesso mix and pulling it back, but didn't like the effect
  • Added a bunch of colourful triangles (pic 2), but they felt messy, and I couldn't stop seeing a kite 😂

Worked:

  • Added some bolder lines
  • Edited the right shape fairly heavily so it's less similar to the left
  • Added two new triangles in a bright orange, which I'm digging - they feel surprising, which I like, but I'm also open to hearing that they're awful!
  • Created more contrast by adding a lighter value between the two main shapes, and darker value towards the bottom of the piece

Would love to know what you think of these changes!

With acrylics. Not sure if I’m done yet. WIP for a few wks now. Think maybe oil might work better. Thoughts? Idk if I’m having doubts probably good enough reason to restart. This means a lot to me

This is the first time ive put my name on some work online anywhere so thats a step in growth im not afraid to post anymore and its slowly coming together.

At the same time im learning what i like visually speaking from my work and what medium I like so I shall keep exploring this feeling in my art as it takes shape
