My critique of a digital watercolour painting in progress: Windflowers
My critique of a digital watercolour painting in progress: Windflowers  Day One Things that are missing, not right, or need redoing…aagh!!! …it’s the whole thing!! This is the point I would usually scrap a painting, but this time I’m going to try and analyze what went wrong and see what I can learn by critiquing it myself. The first step was to SnagIt, so I could make notes on it and point certain areas out to remind myself.

Sometimes I can’t see what is wrong with something because I’ve been looking at it the same way for too long. The suggestion that you turn your painting upside down and look at it when in progress so you will see it a different way and hopefully spot problems before it’s too late, makes sense to me now!

I really like spray and stencil effect here. In my opinion flower in left corner is in different style and generally its placement breaks composition. I would fill this space with hint of green leaves and maybe a little bug on them making optical illusion of sitting on canvas (like in Trompe-l'œil art http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trompe_l%27oeil ;) ?
