The form that we see in this piece is water color and Intaglio based. The predominant color base in this Contemporary painting is cool colors, very neutral not static. For the most visual elements is that the cool colors bring you to a solemn and yet peaceful outlook upon this art piece. The young melancholy female is in the foreground, with a black bird background. Within the horizon stand point is the middle ground. How everything is pulled together is by texture. The texture is light with brush strokes, but the watercolor gives the fluent, delicate but almost dramatic effect. This is a plain flat painting. There is no 3-d effect or realistic effect.
What you first see in this picture is the calm young girl. Your eyes move to the black birds which take equal amount space upon the paper, as the girl laying on the hill. What really pulls you all together is the cool pigments. The whole emotion of this piece, is intense,somber, but very much calm. The pale pink dress definitely gives the painting a pop. In the sense not everything is blended together. As for the direction of the piece is diagonal. With linear perspective, is very disproportionate. Light values, are dark, not necessarily dim. But that is the emotion that you feel. I believe that the concept of this painting is the consumption of young minds getting lost within nature, or being overly consumed within their minds. Even though you cannot see her eyes your imagination wonders what is her true expression, or what may be she pondering upon as she gazes as the birds fly away.
Good work here- it's clear that you looked at the artwork carefully to identify the visual elements- especially color, texture and space- and nice interpretation of the subject of the artwork!
