Oh this is really fun! I was scrolling through and saw your piece and just had to take a second and pause. It made me =)!
I’ve got a ping-pong wing-wong kinda brain though and these are the three things that popped up when I saw it: tomie, monet, and a mountain pass
In that order, so take it as you will but I like it. If you want some soft-criticism I would say working on pushing the forms a bit more might be worth having a think about. Because, and this is a personal opinion, I think you can be abstract while still being a little bit neater than what I am seeing in kinda the upper left area abouts. But I understand what all the shapes are, and I think that’s really nice!
The only other thing I would say, and I am not sure if it’s due to value or composition (because it’s very centric in its focus) but as I see it - the figure sits in front of the opening. Although the opening is compositionally clearly in front of the figure. So it creates this real tension with the eyes that causes a lot of bouncing back and forth. But overall it really is a fun painting and I think you did a great job. So take these as you will =)
Wow thank you so much! I love the impressionist style so much, especially Renoir Monet and Manet.
Gotta check out Tomir I don’t know that artist.
All criticisms warmly appreciated and well taken! I know there are lots of errors in the painting, like the values of the sun spots, the green versus the sand, the details missing in the bushes/trees…
I also made the person just slightly too big, and messed up the distinct natural border between the path and the beach (those green leaves to the right) so there is a line but it gets blurred away…
Thanks again it really warms my heart 💖
I just understood your comment about the person sitting in front of the opening. So true, oups!
Maybe the colours needs to be a bit more distant with less red and toned down a bit. Guess I’ll have to try it again!
