27/05/2021 – I really enjoyed the crit with Gary, he is an endless fountain of knowledge and I love to gain another view of my work from him. The main thing I took from this was to explore the transparency of the paint and materials i was using in my ‘Transient Convection’ piece as this was what he enjoyed the most about the work. I had a look at my own supplies and played around with creating layers of transparency over the paint as shown below in a more recent image of the work.
