ADVANCED WINNER - Janna Voss
WHY IT WON: What a great, original composition that you chose! Each element is rendered beautifully and with your limited palate of browns, reds and blues it creates a great retro tone to the whole piece. There are so many textures and the viewer can really feel each one from the fray of the book to the metals and wood. The highlight of the piece would have to be the screwdriver – it really just pops off the page! It must have been such a challenge to create 3 additional artworks when doing the photos but you executed it stunningly. My only critique would be to maybe use a slight more contrast, although I am so glad that you avoided blacks in this one. Bravo!
WHY IT WON: First I have to say I love that you write that although you had hesitations to even do this challenge, you had so much fun that you did a second piece – THIS winning piece! So glad you did too, the colors are wonderful and all your effort has paid off in all the details. The areas that I think stand out the most is the box (the shine and 3 dimensional qualities give the whole artwork great depth), I also love the rusty wrench, keys, and pocket knife – all translate it’s own texture convincingly. Thank you for your hard work this month and hope to see more in challenges to come!
