Comparing Canvases

In art class, we were to draw 3 pieces (a large pastel, a large painting, and a small painting) that was similar to a small cropping we did. The image was supposed to be like the small image cropping, but we were allowed to change contrast in value in our own way. The cropping was supposed to have a composition (mine was golden triangle). I chose my large painting and my small painting as my 2 favorite pieces. The large painting was supposed to be quick and the brush strokes were to be quick and full of expression, there wasn't meant to be much value, so the brush strokes had to be intereting. The small cnavas painting was meant to be very detailed, with layering and brush stroke textures. Many colours had to be used to show different values. For the large painting, I did use lots of colours but i experimented sing different colours from the original cropping. The large painting is more dark and the colours are more saturated, to exhibit the generals colours in the peice. The small canvas painting i did was more bright, and i used a variety of shaded, and was more careful in my brush strokes.
