Nicole Mueller: environment sketches
Here are my sketches...it was a little hard for me to do them in pencil because I was thinking of doing some small paintings for the final that really focused on color (thinking of Bernie Fuchs as inspiration). Seeing some of the landscapes in b&w they don't seem as interesting to me, and I was afraid some of my ideas might be too unoriginal. But anyways here they are:

i feel as if "intimate", "quiet" and the top one of "vast" are your strongest pieces. I say so because you mentioned really wanting to use color to suggest mood. the intimate one has really great potential for this, even in black and white i can see it.
ReplyDeletei dont think the other ones work as well simply because its hard to make out whats happening. and since there's no concise "place" etc. i feel as if color will take a back seat to the place looking like the place.
I actually really like the more canyon view of "vast", but i think those two are both really strong. Intimate could really beautiful painted, it works even as a simple pencil drawing, but i think cluttered is a little lacking, it's hard for me to understand a little bit. Maybe for "simple" the composition could be imroved by simply like panning so we see more wall, and the shair is in the left corner?
ReplyDeleteI agree with other people. I love intimate and it can be really strong piece in color. I would say intimate, and one of the vast. both of vasts are nice and both of them can be successfully done. but I personally like top one b/c it has more sky(open space) so it feels more vast.
ReplyDeleteNicole, these are all really awesome. I find myself gravitating towards your second vast piece, intimate, and quiet the most though. I think those pieces will translate best to color because you've to have figured out a clear light source.
ReplyDeleteI agree - Intimate, quiet, and the top one of vast are your best ones. the quiet one is great - with the long shadows casting that indicate that the sun is going to go down soon - that equals quiet or serene to me. I think the vast one could be really awesome - I like the first one because it shows the peaks, and there's nothing like standing there looking at mountain peaks to think of "vast."
