Art Critique

The first artists peices I was really drawn to by the use of various different colours and combinations although with the use of many different colours maybe some tones needed to be played down. 

As you look closer you can see the brush marks in more detail, these marks are very textural and add depth to the peice. However it would be interesting to see a range of different sizes in the mark making. As well as this I feel as though collage could have been included in the peices in order to create more texture.




These were the second peices that grabbed my attention. They did this as even though there was colour incorporated the darkness of the drawings stood out. The colour scheme used worked well as they both are soft background colours. The black of the drawings on the blue peice can be quite harsh however the abstract marks make an interesting texture. I particularly like how the sketches from the image used in the peice are carried out throughout it. 



The last peices composition is pleasing to the eye as it has a very central focus. The orange and brown tones are nice as it he colours look burnt however the colours are prodomitly orange so maybe adding hints of brown could soften it. 

The other peice has a good texture however the colours seem too blunt maybe mixing them more would make them a bit more muted. Also layering more paint onto the canvas would create thicker marks which would look better.
