Excellent work. The paintings, esp the long one, with what looks like a tent on the left, are staggeringly good.
Thank you, Jim, for a really clear and straightforward commentary – I understood exactly what you were driving at, and it’s helped me in my struggles along this sort of pathway with the first assignment painting in my first painting course which I’m in the midst of right now.
Great commentary- clear and easy to follow. Also, Jim helps to bring the works to life.
The drawings are particularly strong due to their use of tone and texture.
It’s good to see someone really using thumbnails. I find that a lot of students don’t use them or spend too long on them, which defeats the purpose. Here we can see how the thumbnails kept the idea alive.
From the viewer’s perspetive, they give a sketch book a pleasing change of rhythm, helping the other work to breathe.
Thank you for this, I love her work and it has helped put into perspective the use of thumbnails for working out composition. I especially love her tonal quality and draftsmanship.
I just wanted to ask, should there never be any other reason than feeling for doing preliminary sketches, or rather, should feeling be included in every preliminary drawing?
