Your sketches are wonderful, as always. I hope you don't mind me saying - and it is only because the sketches are so good that I say this, but I think it is a shame when you cover the sketches with the words. My eyes focus on one, and then I need to focus on the other. I preferred the slight overlap you you used in the 11/8 post. I'm still spending an inordinate amount of time on the acrylic painting - great learning experience though.
Dan-- any critique is welcome and you have a valid point. I think I over did it with the text on this spread. I envisioned something and it didn't turn out the way I hoped it would.
Like you, I am a slave to my acrylic painting. Layer upon layer of paint but it's a total learning experience in how the paint acts and how I should apply it to get the effects I want (somewhat rare occurrence, but when it happens, I'm pretty happy with it). I do wish my painting had an "undo" button, though... it would have been useful in several instances! ;)
In my current art practice, I am exploring the subtitles of oil paints, particularly within the the realm of portraiture.
My focus is on the human face because that's what we all see everyday. It's there ripe for the picking.
