These are my final, for now, canvases (excluding the smaller one) for this critique. I think its a significant improvement from the last piece, but I still feel like they could use a few more layers, but I'm not 100% sure and I wanted to hear other people's opinions before I continued. If I were to add more layers I would go in with charcoal to make marks and then add small brush strokes of different colors to create more movement through the piece. While making these pieces I was inspired by the works of Joan Mitchell and I hope to keep exploring other artists to create my own voice within the style. I really like layers I started with even though it created somewhat similar pieces. I want to apply a similar process to other pieces but in slightly different ways to create a cohesive and interesting body of work. ALSO disclaimer, I know my photos in my gallery are subpar, but my cracked iphone camera was all I had to photograph with, these photos will be replaced soon once I get a hold of my sister's real camera and we create a proper set up. I promise the paintings and their colors look a lot better in person and I'll fix the photos asap.

I love the movement and expression in these paintings! To me they look like energetic parties of abstracted figures. I think charcoal would look interesting paired with the muted colors, but that could make it too busy so maybe try that out for your next piece.

I’m really enjoying the movement of this piece, and I think that you absolutely nailed the color scheme because I really really love the layering of the colors. I especially appreciate the evenness of your piece because although not symmetrical, the brush strokes are placed all over the canvas in the same style. I would actually consider doing a couple more strokes with skinner lines of a lighter color to give a slight expressionist style because I think it would tie the piece really well together.
