The second assignment of Bobby Chiu's class was split into a 2 part painting exercise, learning how to apply subtle value transition using only flow and opacity to make make smooth gradation, which was also a great opportunity to practice edge control. The challenge was to utilize only the hard round brush and no soft or textured brush to achieve certain soft gradations.
I found the flower petals and the ear to be quite challenging and feel I could have pushed the lighter tones further to increase the contrast and definition of the form to achieve a clearer graphic statement.
I found painting the flower petals to be the most enjoyable out of the three subject matters due to its range of values and the flexibility to pushed the lights and dark accents.
