Flowers in the room

This painting, 'Flowers in the room', gives me a Japanese feeling, and that is what you were aiming to portray. It makes me feel calm and relaxed. It makes me go... ahhhh...

You have showed me your excellent skill in lighting, because it seems as if you know exactly where to put the light shades for the soft yellow glow, but maybe, if you made it a bit stronger, it would give off more emotion. The fabric in front of the woman's knees is somewhat unusually bright, even in the shadows, which perplexes me. The colors go well together, and gives me a nice feeling, because the cyan and red-orange are on opposite sides of the color wheel, and complements each other. I like that you used not-too-bold colors, because that also calms the image. The sketchy lines make it not too definite, which illustrates complete tranquility. You are amazing at using such techniques to tell the audience what they should feel like, and what their mood should be when they look at the drawing. I have seen some digital drawings that have a similar idea to yours, but you have depicted it better than others I have seen.


The painting is overall drawn very well. I loved all aspects of it, although an improvement on shading would make it better.

<3 Carry on doing art!
