When receiving feedback for my past work, I got many words such as: soft, color, comforting, dreamlike and memory. Ideas of doing something with senses and doing individual color schemes came up. Someone said it looked like you captured an overlooked moment and I really enjoyed that phrasing. I wanted to focus on color, feelings and moments in my next set. Overall for the bigger piece one idea is to have a big canvas then a bunch of or one smaller canvas. Another idea is to zoom out and see the bigger picture then zoom in for certain parts or areas of the image almost layering papers or canvas'. I really liked what everyone has to say and while I do want to include a figure at some point I'm not sure quite how or where, but maybe including moments or memories associated with these sunsets. I am sure I am going to continue with the oil pastel, the one thing I'm questioning is if I need to cut it with another medium in a way? In addition I wanted to talk about texture- I enjoy not only the aesthetic it provides, but I feel it gives the art emotion in a way; for example where it might be slightly smeared or a lump of pastel is in it. I like adding texture and dotting or line making, but I see myself falling more into expressionism in a way.
