Introduction and Observation

Ms. Chrystal Robinson is an artist who has been painting for about 10 years. She had attended art school and worked on many different mediums.

I like this painting; the artist expresses a strong emotion. Yet it seems there is still room to express more. The fires could be bigger, the colors could be amplified and there could be more motion and movement.

So let's begin.

 

 

 

 

Extend the Painting Area

First, I'd expand the painting size, and extend the background and the garment. Then I'd make the fires bigger, much bigger.

 

Introduce a Complementary Color

The warm purples of the background colors are too close to the warmth of the colors in the garment. To make the figure stand out, I'd introduce a layer of a cool green color into the background to contrast with the warm reds and purples of the robe. This will create a richer color composition.
