From the Painting Guide: You should certainly continue to experiment with this technique: the colour flows on its petals is very attractive. The flower in the bottom right-hand corner is settled right on the edge, spoiling the effect of the partial flowers (it could also just be the way the photo is cropped). The small depth of field effect is reminiscent of a photograph: there's a great deal of detail in the flowers in the foreground, it seems to lack any midground, and then there's the blurred distance. This gives a very dense bottom-heavy feel to the painting. Return to Critique Corner
