Sorry today's post is up so late. I didn't have an artist in mind for today's artist focus post, so I decided to share my two most recent works with you guys. I mentioned in my first artist about Jan Ironside that she had been what really inspired me for the direction where I wanted to take my paintings, and these are the results!
The first one I did was this one:
I like it. I'm not thrilled with it, but I definitely like it. It was a good starting point to test out a technique that I was unfamiliar with. For a first go at it, I think I did pretty well. I could have achieved more texture in the flowers themselves, so that's what I'm aiming for in my paintings to come.
The next one, I just finished up today:
This one I'm REALLY proud of. The sunflowers actually lift off the page which is what I was going for.
What do you guys think? Any criticism would be helpful!
