In Progress Critique

As of right now I don't have anything solid to document but I was able to run my idea by my group. I am following in the footsteps of Lisa Escherik for this project. I want to make a realist painting but not with a lot of details. I really like how Escherik's lines are somewhat hazy and don't have a set boundary. The color shifts maintain the "boundaries" of each different part. I have been taking a lot of pictures at school to practice and get an idea for color and contrast again but I'm going to use a picture from a field by my house to model my work after. It'll offer new subject matter for me to work on and the spot I am using has lots of different aspects to it that will make my painting more interesting. My critique group members didn't have much to critique me on because I didn't have anything to show yet but they liked the direction in which I was going.
