I had a good time with this project. I really enjoyed being able to use paint and colors. My two pieces were cohesive due to the pouring/falling effect they both had centered in the middle. Combining the organic shapes with each other, resulted in the use of both geometric and organic shapes. I found this could work backwards as well. Both of my designs are both organic and geometric, while following a main theme each. I often draw from life and I was just in printmaking, as my designs reflect. I did split-compliments and kept my compositions neat without adding as I originally had planned. I think the space around the images are effective for the main focus. I used fragmentation as well as dissolving, diffusion, balance and more. I honestly don't have a preference for the way in which my art is turned and looked at. It looks cohesive to me regardless of the way it is turned, but I can see how it can come full circle when one is heavier on top and one is heavier on bottom.
I like working with gouache, I never have before. However, it isn't as easily malleable as I had hoped. Once it is on bristol, it tends to dry out pretty quickly if there isn't enough water used. On the contrary, if you don't use enough water, the hue is not right/bold enough, most of the time. It required a lot of patience when coming to outside lines, and plenty of paint! This is a really nice palette to mix new exciting colors with in general.
