knocks on door anybody home? ... Hmm seems I'm bit late to this one aye? ah screw it! This piece really interest me in many ways, However I can't help but feel some elements are really out of place, the flow is being disrupted somewhere, lets take a deeper look into this shall we?
Composition
- Let's start from the basics, In terms of foreground, middle ground and background your definitely missing one of these elements... Wanna take a guess? Foreground. You don't absolutely need to have one at all times though this doesn't seem to be one of those instances. Try thinking a bit deeper into the placement of the boat, the ratio of the water compared to the figure in the field. Question everything. One thing I feel that wasn't Utilized to the maximum was the foreshortening in this piece.
Foreshortening
- I talked on you not having a foreground earlier yes? well I see one easy way to get rid of this problem, extend the hull of the boat and allow the end of the boat to explode into the viewers eye. It would develop further ideas of depth, exaggeration and would help lead the viewers eye though the piece. The top half of the figure would definitely need to get smaller as HE/SHE is leaning backwards and that boat is pretty dang big. Make sure to stay mindful and play around with the figure field relationship of your objects within your environment, experiment, TAKE RISK! most of all enjoy it!
Alright, I'm not going to make this crit longer than it needs to be, sorry if I come of pretentious, I'm mimicking a bit of my professor hahaha man "Art School" has really gotten to me. Anyways my fellow Cubebrushian, I wish you the best of luck in your artistic en-devour the realm of Cubebrush, May our paths cross again!
