Original Student Work – artist Elise Erasmus

“Nice work here Elise. Love the color palette. I also like the way the blue runs through the painting background, pants, and foreground. This is tying the dark values together and creating a nice balance and eye movement. You more or less centered the figure which can be challenging compositionally but you have pulled it off by that red to create some nice asymmetry as well as the values I mentioned above. Lots of great paint interest in the surrounding areas as well. Well done!”
