describe both pictures pt.1

Part I

- Facial expressions

 A.In the first painting, the girl seems to be emotionless attitude with her face sideways with her back straight as if she is walking somewhere.

B. In the second painting, the girl seems to be in some sort of stress with her facial expressions tensed as well as her shoulders being lifted and collar bones showing.

- Technique

A. I think it varies on the canvas used, but the first painting looks like it was used many thick brushes on the skin and the paint not being too wet adding a little bit of texture to the clothing and skin, with mostly bright colors such as blue and other colors to create the mood of the painting

B. The second painting uses what looks like to be a darker tint of coors, also helps express the expressions used in the facial region, the mood shows to be tensed, which uses the dark brown/tan colors to create the mood.

- Role with the colors

A. though both paintings have a red background, the first one has black mixed in the corners maybe hinting at a direction of which the women might be walking, also helping with what the mood is with the painting and the women in it.

B. In the second painting the background is a bit more intense in the reds, with no black in the corners, in this the women is looking directly looking towards us, so the intense red can hint at the stress within the painting.

- Response by the artists

A. In the first painting I think that the artist was somewhat successful in what she/he was trying to evoke within it, although some questions are still floating in the air, The women in there does not have any facial expression making it somewhat difficult to read what emotion the artist was trying to display with the painting

B. The second painting was much easier to read, the artist was definitely successful in what she/he wanted to display, it showed that there was stress and the background and the facial expressions in the painting both show stress or tensity, So yes this painting was successful at what the artist wanted to evoke.
