Lesson 3 Cruciform

Repainted and reworked this to the extent that the collage papers were beginning to disintegrate! It was beginning to feel messy, so I stopped. I wanted to create depth in the piece by adding shadow around the cruciform, but I was challenged to find the right color and also make a subtle transition from the shading to the lighter background color. The 4 quadrant background colors all turned out to be about the same, so an attempt at variety was established through the texturing.


Jane said to keep working this one, so here it is. Had a hard time making the quadrants different colors. The added red paint and collage really did nothing to improve the composition. It's a bloody mess. Don't like it at all, so I'm abandoning it for good now!




This next one was also worked over and over. Probably too busy with the textures, and the cruciform is perhaps too static. But...

I rather like the one below and the blue one at the top!
