Assignment 2 Response


Reading my tutor's report for  the work done in  section two of the course.

Revisited  the imaginary rooms exercise, having first looked at some of Edward Hooper's work online. From  memory I though his work's were more realistic but detail is kept to a minimum possibly adding to the solitary atmosphere of his paintings.

There where several interior painting that use in their composition a strong diagonal shadow being cast by light coming from a window in one painting the composition is solely about this shadow broken by two interior wall planes: Sun in an empty room 1963

In my sketch below of an interior I have tried to remove focus from the items of furniture, focusing on the areas of light and dark




Back to assignment 2,  similar still life set-up tomatoes replaced with peppers, aim here was to lose the distracting background and strengthen the colours I have removed the tea towel and made more of the lighting strong shadow at the bottom of the painting which hopefully helps the composition and can be immediately read by the viewer as a shadow
