This week's work is again all for my class w/ Jane Davies ..... only have one more lesson. What a challenging journey this has been! This week's lesson is to create pieces that are 80% monochromatic, but interesting, with 20% "something different" - either in color, technique, whatever. These are all 9x12 on Dick Blick 'cheap paper' (80 lb)
#66-73 - I'll just share a few of the more successful efforts:
Transformed a blue/green background into this gold one with marks in graphite and some collage added.
This piece started with a blue/purple background (you can see remnants of the purple here and there) with a bright bit of collage as the 'something different'.
I quite like the interesting blue monochrome here - lots of value shifts and shapes created over collage. I don't think the black 'focal point' is successful....it's a bit too strong. Maybe I should have made 2-3 smaller black shapes instead of this single one..... ?
I like the composition and line work though it might be a bit bland.
This is one of my favorites. I like the interest in the background and the 'something different' is interesting too.....what do you think?
Hope you have a very creative week!

Wonderful results Terrie. I don't think that #4 is 'bland' at all. The construction of the design and the little peep of pink gives it plenty of interest. I love the strength of line and simplicity of #5. In #3 that black could have dragged you out, but your red line has kept you in the image. Bet you're pleased with yourself.
