My final image for the Hound of the Baskervilles. SPOILER COMING FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK!! I was unaware when I did this scene that it was the butler that was the murderer. I captured the menace and secrecy quite well I find. This one is done on a mixed media board with acrylics and watercolor, and then I have enhanced it in photoshop. Oh, and I would love some critique from anyone!

I have revisited the corroded poster theme using another ideation from my thumbnails, but still used the same palette and watercolors.

This is really cool. The expression on the guy’s face says so much. You mindfully placed the details only where they needed to go. The softer, looser background gives this painting some depth too.
Out of the pieces I was working on, “The Crucible” made it across the finish line.
I pushed the Third Reich propaganda poster aesthetic as far as I could. For the witch, I leaned into a Disney-style illustration and referenced an antisemitic caricature for the face—to reinforce the play’s central critique of bigotry.

@Mario Klingeberg This has a level of polish to it that feels professional . The influence from German propaganda is clear. There may be an opportunity to compare perception VS reality in the depiction of the seond figure to reinforce the use of caricature. It's a tough topic given the history. You did a nice job putting this all together.

Woah- nice finish @Gwynn! I'm quite taken with how you treated the edges in the butler's face and hair. Hard VS Soft edges are a painter's domain:) The background figures could benefit from one of two things: 1. More detail and information. 2. More shape welding and simplification of forms. They are somewhere in between at the moment. If you decided to add more detail in your original setup, I would advise working larger so you can get more information into the details. Just food for thought. Really did come out very well. Have you seen this amazing Mead Scheaffer painting from Count of Monte Cristo in the Kelly Collection?
Hey Gwynn,
Gorgeous piece! I love the salon atmosphere with the light pouring through the window. The silhouette of Watson (I think?) with his features just barely noticeable is beautifully done. Since you asked for critique, I did a quick overpaint and added some notes—hope it helps and that you can decipher my handwriting! 😄 If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Hey @C P I'm responding to this a bit of sequence, but the same feedback applies from the sketch. I'd also encourage going bolder with your differences in temperature. You can always tone down color, but it's hard to interject bold color into a somber palette. If you go the route I suggested in the future, the best way to limit saturation is to mix in a color complimentary color from across the color wheel. I'd love to see the robot with more recongizeable features like your sketch! Thanks for putting so much into your efforts in this class and sorry to be late. I hope the feedback is still of some assistance.
