I mostly used a sketch brush and the Kyles wet and wild watercolor brush for the ones i did out of class. the first one of course is the in class one I did. i also used a bunch of layers.
I think the choice to do martinis was pretty cool cause that leads to a lot of interesting color options. If I had to suggest anything, it'd be a little bit more clarity on the form of the glassware. Having that defined form on top of the more brushy background and liquid might really make it pop.
It's super fun to see the juxtaposition of your piece with the strict lineart and the more painterly pieces. I think just a few firmer edges with the shift key would really help bring out of the glass on these.
I really love the colors you have in all these different pieces, but I have to say I like the first the most. There's something really inviting about the space and color in it that just isn't there in the rest. It's a lot more defined and I think that goes a long way- unfortunately it also distances itself from the rest of the set. But it still looks really good and the experimentation with the Kyle brushes is something I can totally vouch for.
The line work and color palette in the first one is really incredible! I wish there was more of that line work in the other 3, I think all of your colors and compositions are great, but i think that black linework from the first one would be really interesting to see in the others.
The first and the last definitely stand out the most to me, mainly due to their color palettes and polish. The middle two show some interesting explorations, but ultimately become hazy and could use some more definition. The last one is super cool though, I'm really into it.
There's a really cool atmospheric quality to the background - it looks like a glitzy light-show that is a bit diffused, which I think is a really great way to play with the theme. I also think it was neat to see the transparency of how you treated the martini glass itself with the color coming through. I think you could go back and sharpen up the edges of the martini glasses a bit so you get that really crisp look - maybe even adding another level of highlight where the light would hit it the hardest. Just around the rim, or maybe on some of the splashes coming out-- those could be super light in some areas as well. Overall I think the use of transparency is really nice with these.
I appreciate the fact that even though your subject is the same you're using different styles of coloring and linework to separate them. I think the 4th one seem the most compelling probably because the way the composition is set up to have the action of the martini glass fall and direct your eye to the left is really pleasing! It also has more convincing glass quality versus the others, and going back and trying to mimic it could push the rest of your compositions on the same level.
