The Confession & The Chase
The Confession
I really liked this paintings composition. The starkness of the red on the grey haired man’s shirt in contrast to the darkness of the man opposite, the night sky, and the brightness of the blue seats definitely grabs my attention.
I think that the colour palette of the blue seats, and blood red soaked shirt looks really good, and the detail on the mans shirt and face is just enough to look good, and yet stay mysterious.
If I were to paint this image again however, I think that I would have spent more time on the man the black hoodie on the man opposite, and on the night sky too. I also think that I haven’t spend enough time making sure some of the lines are straight, and I think that I will definitely work on that in the future.
The Chase
I really like the simplicity in this image. The viewer is left in the dark wondering where the figure is going and what he is running from.
If I would paint this image again, then I would spend more attention to the lines, and making them straight as I think that they are the main thing letting this image down.
I’m not sure what I am going to paint next, but I think i’ll do something like ‘The Confession’ and try to improve on the faults in the painting.
