When I first look at your task 1 work, I notice that you work in a more abstract manner to reflect your surroundings, but I also notice that you went into greater detail when doing task 2, which reflects your experimentation. I can tell you’ve experimented with a variety of media, particularly spray paint, which I’ve noticed is used in the majority of your pieces but in a variety of ways, making each piece unique. Furthermore, I appreciate the use of a wide range of colours, from bright to dark and earthy tones, which gives your work a more stable feel and demonstrates that you are comfortable stepping outside of your comfort zone when experimenting with colours.
Personally, my favourites are (talking colour) image 9, where the contrast of the dark blue spray paint and the light pink and white live flowers is very interesting to me and works very well together. I also like how the light pink shadows under the dark blue adds depth to the work. Furthermore, in the second task, I see more experimentation in that you began to think about texture more, for example, image 4, using water colour on tissue and then pushing it further by adding texture digitally can be very effective when turning art into a textile piece and seeing how the detail can be made by juki or cornelly stitches. Also, I admire the way you went even further and made a repeated design of this piece.
Overall, I enjoyed all of your work in both task 1 and 2 particularly the range of color you have used. However, although white paper does work for all your pieces perhaps you could try using different colored paper/card and maybe zoom in and out from references you are using in the future to elevate your work.
