But at least I got some input from her during the crit. Her sign-up sessions were all full, so I didn't get the crit until, like 9 or so in the evening!!! bleh. Oh, well...
I'll still put the birds in... there's the one gull at the bottom right, kinda sketched in, space for two at the left, and there will be more distant birds in the background flying up to the light spot in the sky at the upper right. I think it'll help with putting more movement into the painting. Their cloaks help with that, but they are still arranged in that "A" shape, which is very static...
Eh... I'm always mucking up the mounting in some way. It's always last-minute and I don't have time to sand between layers, etc., so there's always something going wrong with it. I think I had air-bubbles this time, too... and dust caught in the medium... But oils go over all that pretty well, so I don't worry too much!
I didn't get as much feedback as last year. I was kind of lax this year. But I did try to get SOME feedback...
I'm never sure if they are leaving me alone to work on stuff because they aren't that interested, or if I'm actually doing OK, but that's just me being paranoid, I think...
