Perspective

I tried a new technique this time: placing plastic wrap over wet paint. The texture this technique created is pretty awesome. Aside from the texture, there are actually a few things that I really like about this painting. First I need to make certain I say this: painting sharp edges in watercolor is very difficult.

I like the hints of cadmium yellow added to the corners of the floating shapes. The overall color scheme has harmony without losing too much contrast. It was a challenge from start to finish, and I'm glad I was able to finish it.

If I did this piece again, I would rethink the color scheme to stick with only a few colors and their variations. I would make sure to better define the direction of the light source so I could create cast shadows and incorporate cool tones into the dark areas. Finally, I think I need to leave a few extra inches at the top to enhance the feeling of looking up at the top shape.
