They make me think Turner, immediately, Heather. Good job!

Guess it is the season, after all! :) Mon, 20 Dec 2010 07:14:59 +0000 http://fheathermoore.com/2010/12/01/a-sample-of-work/#IDComment116917524 http://fheathermoore.com/2010/12/01/a-sample-of-work/#IDComment115395849 DoI getto selectmy favorite, Heather? That last onebased on the theme of windows tells so many stories that I have to go with that. I see a figure looking out or is it in? See? ...and maybe it is not a figure at all. Good job on Stuart's arm, by the way.

I like this energetic application of mediums that you have. It gives a feeling of being "in the moment".

I really like the energy you put into your painting inspired by Turner!

LOL! I like the swish of movement in it and I see a table-like rock and a cave beneath. It is a "U" composition with the sky peeking thru. Great project to raise money! All the best to your Dad. I hope he feels better, soon.

As I began to better understand that I was shaping something up on a two-dimensional surface and giving it a life of its own!

Is he slowly introducing you to lost edges and how to see and use them? Hope so. I could learn a thing or two in that category. Did you feel as though you were sculpting on a two-dimensionsl surface while working your charcoal piece. I do when I work with charcoal. Great Birthday present painting!

He is right. You are more expressive than this design jewlry thing. Will be glad to read about your return to Atelier.

If I had to do all this in order to produce something creative, I would certainly fold under the pressure of it all before too long. I usually create through observation and the creative pieces come intermittently along that journey. Life sort of has a way of doing that to an artist. Good for you for coming up with a very interesting topic to illustrate, creatively, Heather. I will be interested in seeing what you do to illustrate opposites!

Thank-you, Heather. I learn so much when I visit and take in what you are learning. Lautrec's images have always fascinated me.

I think it is the most Turner like or what I like about Turner. There is a small image suggested in that one and that is what I like about many of Turner's is that suggestion leftup to the viewer. Wonderful work!

Water is hard!

The more you practice this mark-making, the more you slide into being able to control and emulate what you see. Such fun!

I'm sending love and light your way hoping it helps. .....and a huge hug. Not Fair.

I like the exercise your teacher assigned you. I think I will do the same with my drawing students. Nice value exercises you completed. Illustrated the point rather well I think. Draw on!

These are pieces of the pie and they will come together because you can't forget them once you begin to use them. You have a good teacher. Stick with him. Bravo on your blog review or rating.

We all have to! I also like it that you refered to measuring the negative space. Sometimes, on objects such as this, I would draw the negtive space between arms and body and then relate all other measurements to it. Once he teaches you more technique and tools, you will jump back and forth using all of them. It won't all be about measuring.
