Peindre, jouez, découvrez ! Un exercice créatif pour les artistes en quête d'inspiration

These are great, so high energy and full of motion! I don't know what the class objectives were, but I do know that I enjoy looking at your art!

I really like all of these...so much energy.    For me, this simple exercise is going to take lots of practice.

Oh Carmen, I can relate to your feelings but I'm so proud of you for sharing! You have great dynamic brush strokes and mark makings which bring energy. What didn't you like about it?  Things that can help you, are so try and think in blocks of colour. You could start out like this and then let it dry for a little bit and bring in some more space by covering up a few areas with a dark colour and others with a light one. That space can help you to isolate some shapes. Or you could try some negative space painting. If you would like, I can pos some examples of what I mean in the class discussion. Let me know if that would be helpful to you. :) I love what you did with it though, Your marks are free. My favourite is the last one, it's so gestural and expressive with emotion and a bit of mystery!

Thanks Jerney. I think i let this one be. My paint was too thick as I just woke up remembering i did not mix more matte medium with the paint. Anyway it was an exercise in trying.

It's always a process getting the hang of it Carmen, we never get to that sweet spot without some experimenting. You should see some of my less attractive attempts haha!  It's good that you pin pointed what you forgot that you intended to do! That's how we learn. Also, when you paint wet in wet with warm and cool colours, things can get a bit muddy. It can work in your advantage when you want to mute your colours to add in a bit of one in the other but it can feel messy when they mix too much in with each other. You could dry your paint in between the layers of colour to solve this issue and I think you might also like it if you lighten up he colours with a bit of white to get more contrast between your layers while darkening other areas. You can see the effect of the lighter areas when you worked further on your second try. That white on the left brings energy and focus to your subject and I love your energetic brush strokes. :)

Love the colours especially the blue. The gold teeth and the gold speckles in the second one the main figure reminds me of the villain in the movie "The spy who loved me". His name was Jaws. Next to him it looks like a dagger with a gold handle. Very scary.

Thanks Jennifer! You see alot..yes the gold at least helped with a face.. I think I better get back to watercolor! 

Oh yes Jaws! He was quite intimidating for sure!  Aww Carmen, it's perfectly fine to have a preference for art supplies! You could do the same thing using watercolours at some point if you ever want to give the exercise another go in the future. ;)

Carmen, wow!~ Those really kick off an emotional response. The top one geared me up to think “peaceful” but the next two were dramatic, like spooky or scary! Brave and bold work! Peace, judy

Thanks Judy, the top one is before you try to find some other figures in it and cut it up!  blessed Palm Sunday .

Well now Carmen...it looks like fun...love the gold teeth:*))

This is intriguing! This looks like a fun, creative exercise!

I tried and in my eyes disastrous but did want to account for my time. The abstract rendering was ok but making anything out of it? No feedback necessary.
