Hii,
So last week I had found out that we had to produce a piece that was a personal response to the artists work (critical studies). The artists that I had looked at were John Constable, William Turner and McNeill Whistler, so in turn i had decided to combine all the techniques they had used like the heavy pastel rain cloud interpretation of the sky (Turner), the texture brushwork in the foreground (Constable) and the minimal detail used in illuminating colors by McNeill Whistler.
In order to create a symphony of all three artists i'd noted down their use of materials, processes, techniques and equipment that they had used and tried to compare it against my own. Without trying to fully replicate their work I had used my own techniques and chose a slightly different location as Constable and Turner both focus on landscapes whereas Whistler focuses on moral allusion, finding a parallel between painting and music, Whistler titled many of his paintings "arrangements", "harmonies", and "nocturnes", emphasizing the primacy of tonal harmony.
