Composition
I hate to disagree with some of the very thoughtful comments that have been made on this piece.
I find this to be a very beautiful piece.
A: the composition is very original and well executed. Squint and you will see how the triangular shape of the sail brings the attention to the face. You will see how the patterns of her shadows reinforce the overall design.
B: The question of the red boat, it works because of the strong directionals of the composition, which serve to keep the eye moving toward the head.
C: When you are doing spots of color, there seems to be an unwritten law, like bouquets of flowers, one, three, five.
Valerie, you have a very natural and original sense of design. You also know how to design a figure in the pictorial sense. A little more refinement in the drawing would be good, but that comes with time and practice.
Sincerely,
